These facilities, initially agreed upon between Zambia and Angola, will among other things benefit Malawi in form of cheaper petroleum products via the Lusaka route into our Mchinji fuel storage facility,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n<p>President Chakwera said despite Malawi being a landlocked economy, the country is advantageously positioned to utilize both trade routes, eastwards to the Indian Ocean and westwards to Atlantic Ocean through two important harbours, Port of Lobito in Angola and Nacala Port in Mozambique.<\/p>\n<p>In respect of SADC, the Malawi leader said issues that they discussed include the bolstering of peace and security in Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo and Cabo Delgado Province in Mozambique and consolidation of democracy across the region as several member states conduct elections between now and the time we convene for the 44th session next year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have also agreed to collaborate more with fellow member states in harnessing human and financial capital as drivers of industrialization and regional integration,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/malawi\">Malawi<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Malawi.
