Speaking at Kamuzu International Airport in Lilongwe on Wednesday, Chakwera expressed eagerness to boost diplomatic cooperation with Zimbabwe and all the neighboring countries.
“It is very crucial for a country to continuously improve its bilateral ties with other nations.
“We are looking forward to strengthening economic cooperation with Zimbabwe in trade particularly in industrialization which will be beneficial to both nations,” he explained.
President Chakwera stated that he will continue forging deeper relations with neighboring countries as they share similar backgrounds and history.
During his visit in Zimbabwe, President Chakwera is expected to meet SADC ambassadors among other engagements. The two countries share common values, history, and culture and language and along with Zambia, they were once one country under the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland.
Chakwera is on a regional tour following his election in June as Malawi leander and was in Zambia last week ahead of his visit in Harare.

Let us dream together.
Imagine what southern and central Africa would be like economically if the mess in Zim and DRC was sorted out and Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, DRC, Zambia, Zimbabwe and Mozambique were seriously trading with each other? It would be a serious win win situation.
There must be reasons why we do not and this in turn does not allow us to take advantage of the strengths of all the countries in our region.
Let us bring peace to our region and economic prosperity for all. It is very very possible.
Zauchitsili basi! What billateral relationship can possibly come out of Zimbabwe. Muyesele kutenga corona muwone. Muzandimva.
Gone to Ximbabwe to learn how to torture citizens. Chakwera will turn into the worsr dictator
Next destination should be Tanzania and then Mozambique… I think it’s important for the new head of state to meet his regional counterparts, especially those around us before going international.
I second your motion, Mr Chewailesi, sir
That’s true comrade
