LILONGWE-(MaraviPost)-Without remorse, and worry about the suffering of Malawians, President Lazarus Chakwera has taken a nine-day foreign trip amid shortages of fuel, forex, and maize.
Chakwera has this morning left the country for Luanda, in the Republic of Angola where he’s expected to attend the 43rd Session of the Southern Africa Development Community (SADC) Summit Meeting scheduled from 17th to 18th August 2023.
According to Foreign Affairs among other activities, the Summit will elect Angola to become the next Chair of SADC, succeeding the Democratic Republic of Congo.
After attending the SADC Summit Meeting, Chakwera accompanied by his wife Monica will proceed to Johannesburg, the Republic of South Africa, to attend the 15th Session of Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa (BRICS) Plus Outreach Summit from 22nd to 24th August 2023.
Chakwera will take advantage of both Summits to hold bilateral consultations with other world leaders with the objective of securing support for Malawi’s economic recovery.
Reverend Chakwera is expected to return home through Kamuzu International Airport on Friday, 25th August at 15:45 hours.
Since assuming the presidency, Chakwera has almost traveled outside the country every two months while draining hard-earned taxpayers’ money.
Even locally, a week can not pass, seeing Chakwera attending petty functions which could be graced by his deputy, cabinet ministers.
