President of Guinea Bissau Umaro Sissoco Embalo on Friday consoled President Dr. Lazarus McCarthy Chakwera, over the loss of late Right Honourable Dr. Saulos Klaus Chilima and eight others who died in a tragic plane crash in Chikangawa Forest in Mzimba on June 10th 2024.
President Embalo jetted into the country earlier in the day on an official one day visit and went straight into a closed door meeting with President Chakwera at Kamuzu Palace in Lilongwe.
Minister of Foreign Affairs, Honourable Nancy Tembo, says the meeting between the two leaders presented an opportunity for the visiting leader to outpour on behalf of Guinea-Bissauans deep sympathies to Malawi for the unfortunate events sorrounding the death of Chilima.
Since the plane crashed, several nations have been rendering condolences to Malawi through their emissaries right from the venue of the funeral ceremony and other diplomatic channels.
The two leaders have also used the meeting to discuss other pertinent mutual issues that cement ties between the two nations in realization of development aspirations of both populations.
