Among those expected to hold talks with President Mutharika is the Executive Director of the UNFPA Dr. Babatunde Osotimehin.

At least 54 heads of state government are expected to attend the two day summit under the theme; “Year of Women’s Empowerment and Development”.

Issues expected to dominate the discussions at the summit include the global migration crisis, xenophobia and turmoil in Burundi and the threat posed by Islamist militants.
