LILONGWE-(MaraviPost)-The newly appointed Mozambican Ambassador to Malawi Alexandre Herculano Manjate has promised to spur economic development between the two nations.
Manjate made the assurance on Tuesday, May 28, 2024 when he submitted Letters of Credence to President Lazarus Chakwera at Kamuzu Palace in the capital Lilongwe.
The Mozambican High Commisioner said he will ensure that trade between the two countries is increased to spur economic development.
The envoy also called on the two countries to utilize Beira Port, to minimize transport costs.
“We believe that the usage of Beira Port can have a big impact on people of Malawi,” he emphasized.
Updating the media, Presidential Spokesperson Anthony Kasunda described Mozambique as a true friend of Malawi.
Kasunda said presentation of letters of Credence to President Chakwera is an indication that the relationship between the two countries is cordial.
He added President Chakwera visited Mozambique when he had just assumed office in the year 2020, to revive the relationship because Malawi relies mostly on Mozambique when receiving goods and other important services from elsewhere.
