Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>President Lazarus Chakwera\u2019s trip to Saudi Arabia is already bearing fruit as the Malawi leader has signed a financial partnership agreement of MK34 billion with the Saudi Fund for Development meant for the construction of Makanjira road in Mangochi.<\/p>\n

The partnership agreement, signed this Saturday in the city of Riyad in Saudi Arabia, joins several other financial partnerships between the Malawi government and Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n

In his remarks, the Malawi leader underlined that since the beginning of the development cooperation in 2010, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has provided about US$50 million worth of concessional loans, which have gone a long way in cementing the partnership between our two nations.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor example, it was the Saudi Fund for Development that partnered with us to build a state-of-the-art 300-bed hospital in Phalombe, which is now providing various health services to our people, including ante-natal and neonatal services that were once provided at facilities too far away,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He added that it was the Saudi Fund for Development that partnered with us to construct 3 teacher training Colleges in Malawi with an annual enrolment of about 1,200 teacher trainees.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was the Saudi Fund for Development that contributed to the 3 financing of the Thyolo-Makwasa-Bangula road, which has improved connectivity for our farmers.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was the Saudi Fund for Development that supported our efforts at debt restructuring, as discussions between my officials and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia team have commenced in a win-win spirit, and we remain hopeful that through your support we will get a confirmation on debt restructuring assurances,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Chakwera hailed the Saudi government for the generous decision to accept his proposal for the construction of the Makanjira road as a gift that will keep on giving for generations to come.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs such, it is worthy of special recognition and our Saudi partners are worthy of special thanks. This important transport infrastructure will facilitate intra-country trade and regional trade, and usher in a new wave of prosperity for Malawi,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

On his part CEO of the Saudi Fund For Development, Sultan Almarshad, pledged to continue supporting Malawi in future infrastructure development projects.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are also in talking terms with the Malawi government in other future projects,\u201d said Almarshad.<\/p>\n
