She said Malawi, as a member of the Commonwealth and United Nations Human Rights Council, had an important role to play in fostering peace.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPresident Chakwera has been strong in saying it is wrong to breach international law, it is wrong for a big country to go and invade their neighbours and cause this terrible tragedy on civilians. So, we talked about how bad a president would be if he let or tolerated such bullish characters,\u201d Ford said.<\/p>\n<p>She said the Russia-Ukraine war was an important item on their agenda following events of terror happening in Mozambique and Chakwera\u2019s role in ensuring peace and stability as Chairperson for the Southern African Development Community.<\/p>\n<p>Ford then said there was a need for nations to unite and stand up for the sovereignty of nations and the peace as one way of upholding people\u2019s rights.<\/p>\n<p>On good governance, Ford said the British government was impressed with the President\u2019s strong stance on corruption, saying, as a way of supporting his government, she would encourage honest investment in Malawi by British citizens.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe want to encourage British investors to come into Malawi.
