Today, we will also witness the handover of the leadership mantle from outgoing Chairman His Excellency Fe\u0301lix-Antoine Tshisekedi Tshilombo, President of the Democratic Republic of Congo to President of the Republic of Angola His Excellency Joa\u0303o Manuel Gonc\u0327alves Lourenc\u0327o,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>President Chakwera disclosed that the summit, which will be guided by the theme: \u201cHuman and Financial Capital: Key Factors for Sustainable Industrialization in the SADC Region\u201d, it will seek to build on the positives and address bottlenecks being encountered in implementing the strategic vision reflected in SADC Agenda 2050, Regional Indicative Strategic Plan 2020-2030, Regional Infrastructure Development Director Plan as well as the SADC Strategy and Industrialization Roadmap 2017-2063.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking before departure at the Kamuzu International Airport in Lilongwe on Wednesday, Chakwera said the SADC summit is an opportune moment to assert Malawi\u2019s development aspirations within the region and widen our economic prospects through meaningful regional integration and cooperation.<\/p>\n<p>He said he would, therefore, head to Angola to align with fellow SADC leaders on how best they can use human and financial capital to drive sustainable industrialisation within the bloc.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe thematic thrust of this year\u2019s summit mirrors our Malawi Vision 2063 especially under Enabler #5 which positions our workforce, especially the youth, as a pivotal component for economic transformation when we invest in them appropriately. The discussions will also consolidate peace and security, and democracy in the region,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs for the BRICS summit, we will champion our cause with emerging and fellow developing markets through multilateral cooperation to rebalance the world\u2019s economic and political tectonics and make the global system conducive for inclusive growth. I also expect to engage two BRICS key members, China and India, on easing our debt repayment schedule,\u201d he added.<\/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.
