Minister of Information and Digitalisation, Moses Kunkuyu, announced that President Lazarus Chakwera is scheduled to depart for Saudi Arabia on Wednesday to attend the Africa-Arab summit, followed by the Intra-Africa Trade Fair in Egypt.
Kunkuyu emphasized the significance of these events in enhancing economic, political, and social relations for the country during a press briefing in Lilongwe on Tuesday.
He said: “The President in Saudi Arabia will meet experts from different sectors to discuss issues on energy, transport, agriculture and other development areas.”
He further said that in Egypt Chakwera will attend the Intra-African trade fair expected to take place on November 13, where public and private sectors from Malawi are going to participate in the trade fair.
“The trade fair will provide a unique and valuable platform for businesses to access an integrated African market, as they will showcase their products and services,” Kunkuyu said.
Malawi’s participation at the trade fair will facilitate market identification and linkages for Malawian businesses, both corporate companies and Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs).
