Speaking during the Chinese New Year celebrations at Bingu International Convention Centre (BICC) in Lilongwe, Mutharika said China has beautified the city of Lilongwe with BICC and Parliament Buildings and at the same time supported Beautify Malawi Trust (BEAM).

“I commend the People’s Republic of China for the financial and technical support rendered to various sectors such as infrastructure development, agriculture, health, information and communication technology among others,” she said.

According to Mutharika, BEAM is in partnership with China and looking forward to more collaboration with China in the year 2017 and beyond.
