Royal Norwegian Ambassodor to Malawi

Norwegian Ambassador to Malawi, Kikkan Haugen made the remarks Wednesday in Lilongwe during the commemoration of Norway’s National Day in Lilongwe.

He noted that Malawi was doing much be in the areas of human rights and rule of law as compared to many countries in the world.

Haugen promised to continue working with the government in these crucial areas.

“We are looking forward to continue working with the government on these crucial areas. We are hoping and expecting that the government will continue honouring this as the country is edging towards the next elections,” the Ambassador hoped.

He said as one of the very poorest countries of the world, Malawi needs to boost its economic development and private sector.

Haugen pointed out that state dominance, widespread corruption and lack of legislative reform are some of the bottlenecks that prevent Malawi from achieving the investment friendly climate the country desperately needs and deserves.

He said Norway is committed to Malawi and will continue being a partner and investor in key sectors like education, health, agriculture and human rights.

“We will continue to work hard to bring private sector investment to Malawi,” the ambassador added.

Minister of Foreign Affairs, Francis Kasaila observed that the Kingdom of Norway champions democratic order, promotes observance and enjoyment of human rights, peace and security across the global.

He explained that Norway continues to champion education and health for all and preservation of the environment for future generation.

Kasaila noted that since the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries during early years of our independence, relations between our two countries have strengthened.

Why is it that the West is now talking good of Malawi? Don’t they know that this is painful to the opposition? The opposition expected negative responses from the West as we approach to the next elections. Ali m’madzi!!!!!!
