In his quest to foster bilateral relations, President Lazarus Chakwera on Friday held bilateral talks with Ukraine president Volodymyr Zelensky.
The talks are coming at a time when Ukraine is still fighting the Russia invasion which has seen the European country plunging into a crisis. This has led to global economic meltdown as the country can no longer export it’s commodities.
According to a State House statement in Lilongwe, the two leaders discussed their shared aspiration for the betterment of the two countries.
The two leaders shared their aspirations for stronger Malawi-Ukraine relations.
“Zelensky thanked Chakwera for his strong moral leadership, having been one of the first African leaders to speak out against the invasion of Ukraine. He also outlined the various disruptions the war is causing, including the global price of fuel, food, and fertilizer, which he said will regularize once peace and security in Eastern Europe is restored,” reads the statement.
The statement further states that on his part, Chakwera commended his counterpart for his inspiring resolve to mount a formidable defense of Ukraine’s freedom and global stability, and assured him of Malawi’s bilateral and multi-lateral support.
