Governments of Tanzania and Malawi expect to hold a meeting of the joint commission for bilateral cooperation early next year in a deliberate move to cement relationship between the two neighbouring nations, Malawi24 understands.
The Tanzanian Minister of Foreign Affairs and East African Cooperation Wazili Mahiga said in a statement in Dar es Salaam on Wednesday that the envisaged meeting will bring together experts from two nations to deliberate on various issues of cooperation.
The gathering, according to the statement, will also allow experts to deliberate on the challenges facing the bilateral cooperation of the two countries as well as ponder on the new areas that the two countries seek to forge cooperation for mutual benefits.
“The experts will also come up with new areas of cooperation and set strategies of implementing joint projects that will be agreed upon,” said Mahiga, noting that participants attending the meeting will as well discuss joint cooperation in business and investment, transport, energy, tourism and security.
Meanwhile, Mahiga has trashed media reports suggesting that the border dispute between Tanzania and Malawi over Lake Nyasa is being handled by international arbitrators.
A section of media had reported that Tanzania-Malawi border dispute over the lake has recently landed at the United Nations (UN).
But the Tanzanian foreign affairs minister clarified that the dispute is being handled by the panel of retired leaders from Southern African Development Cooperation (SADC).
The panel of mediators is led by former President of Mozambique Joachim Chisano with assistance from former Presidents of Botswana and South Africa, Festus Mogae and Thabo Mbeki respectively. The panel formed by the Forum for Former African Heads of State and Government was tasked to examine various evidences that Tanzania and Malawi had submitted over the disputed Africa’s third biggest lake.
The ministry noted further in its statement that the panel had already met the two sides in Mozambique for preliminary consultation, adding that despite the pending dispute, diplomatic relationship between Tanzania and Malawi remain intact.
“Diplomatic relations between the two nations have been getting deeper day by day in all spheres of life -economic, political and social,” the minister said.
By today young pioneers could be so strong which could help our sleeping soldiers to fight these fucken forks. Hope this was the plan for our founding President Kamuzu that to make a strong Malawi and not a joking nation.
if things are wrong they are wrong. this relationship is salty since kamuzu.ican tell my fellow Malawians magufuri knows exactly what he is doing. we have a very weak leadership in our country.lets just wait and see

Malawi, a landlocked country is trying to strengthen ties with Tanzania a country that provides Malawi access to the ocean isnt weakness but rather strategic, we will be the same ones that will be rushing on facebook posts complaining about fuel shortages if Tanzania blocked our access to its ports. The shortsightedness in this country is amazing
Thanks for that, we call it sprit of brotherhood. We are all one. ONE TANZANIA and ONE MALAWI. GOD BLESS!
The one who is asking for strengthening ties is an idiot

They know the truth,Malawi govt be alert like a snake,no matter how many times a monkey can exercise it will never become a gorilla.We are peaceful nation we believe in contact and dialogue but we can’t let them take a portion on something that doesn’t belong to them.No need of discussing lake desputes only tourism and trade because the lake belong to us.
Tie my tie and I’ll tie your tie. Instead of tying our tie Tanzania is suffocating us!
Dr Banda was good at protecting this country to the fullest wat is happening now i dont understand it… kutiona kupusatu kumeneku MATAIFAWA ? kodi Lake Tanganyika sikuwakwanira? I really miss Dr H Kamuzu Banda. Eish !! GOD BLESS MOTHER MALAWI

Malawi has weak leadership, why strengthen ties after they have grabbed part of our lake. I suppose we should take back the lake and then later start those talks.
Inu kumamvetsa zinadzi,
Don’t you accept the fact that Malawi has no good negotiators?
Much better.
Tz hands off lake Malawi, ties strengthened
