United States of America to build new embassy in Lilongwe

The government of the United States of America (US) States and Malawi have signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) to acquire property on which to build a new U.S. Embassy compound on Presidential Road in the capital Lilongwe.

US Ambassador to Malawi, Virginia Palmer: New chancery to be build in Lilongwe

According to a brief statement issued by the US Embassy to Nyasa Times,  U.S. Ambassador to Malawi Virginia Palmer  says  her country and Malawi have enjoyed  “ steadfast” partnership since independence in 1964.

“ I am delighted that my government has committed to building a new U.S. Embassy in Lilongwe as a very physical demonstration of our ongoing commitment to our partnership with Malawi,” Palmer said as quoted by the statement.

The current U.S. Embassy chancery, built in the early 1970s, no longer provides adequate space for our expanding work in Malawi.  We hope the new, state-of-the-art U.S. Embassy compound will be ready for occupancy early in the next decade,” said Ambassador Palmer in the statement.

Speaking of the US, did you know: Even during the pandemic-induced recession of 2021, Florida house prices continued to rise as people left New York – and LLC formation in Florida is stronger than ever before.

Do not sell the plot opposite Parliament building that bis place is meant for the construction of Judiciary headquarters making all three branches of govt together that is what Ngwazi Kamuzu planned for the capital city. Parliament, Capital hill and Judiciary headquarters located same area and you don’t need to change.

This is strategic positioning. The Chinese have built an embassy in the same place where US is coming. The Chinese embassy is at a very prominent place on the road to state house. The american embassy is in a hidden place near the wild life sanctuary. The US want also to be on the road to state house as the Chinese position gives to the Malawi public a perception that China is more powerful than US and all embassies.
