Dacic meets with Malawian ambassador

BELGRADE - Serbian First Deputy PM and FM Ivica Dacic received on Tuesday the non-resident Ambassador of Malawi to Serbia, Joseph John Mpinganjira, who presented his credentials to President Aleksandar Vucic on Monday.

Welcoming the ambassador, Dacic said he hoped his work would be successful and contribute to advancement of bilateral relations.

He noted that 2023 marked 25 years since the establishment of diplomatic relations and noted that the former Yugoslavia and Malawi had cooperated closely within the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM).

Dacic also said Serbia wanted to develop mutually beneficial cooperation with Malawi in many areas as well as to advance political dialogue and exchange high-level and top-level visits in the period to come as that was an opportunity for discussions and for exchanging views on all issues of interest to both sides.

The ambassador agreed with Dacic's assessment of the friendly Serbia-Malawi relations and said they needed to be deepened further through joint efforts.

He said that Malawi's embassy in Berlin - which covers 23 countries including Serbia - had included Serbia in a group of countries with which it intended to boost cooperation in the period to come.

Thanking for the warm and cordial welcome, the ambassador expressed readiness to work on preparations for visits to Serbia by the Malawian FM and other senior officials.
