President Higgins will on 11th November, visit Saopa Mpeni village in Salima, where he will interact with the local community participating in Irish Aid-funded resilience programme.
He will also meet the Irish Non Governmental Organizations (NGOs) working in Malawi, and appreciate women leaders’ gender activism campaign exhibition at Ufulu Gardens in Lilongwe.

Koma ukanadziwanso kuti ngati pali munthu wonyasa kwambiri pa dziko la pansi ndi bambo ako sukanalemba izi. Shaaaa! Haram.
I am DPP, but I like the way APM’s presidency. Well done Mr President for delegating on these trivial matters and for restoring dignity in Malawi’s first office. All around the world, presidents don’t waste time welcoming guests at airports.
I personally do not see any problem for Chaponda to welcome the Irish President. It is normal, only those who always born to oppose anything can see a problem kodi a malawi enanu munakhala bwanji za zii.
AMumafunsa kuti why sanapite kumaliro apa mukutukwanabe kodi amalawi tizikhala choncho wina akuti musapeleke chithandizo koma iyenso iliku malawi anthu akuda munakhala bwaji mukupitiliza zomwe mumapanga 2010 ndimayi wanu jb malawi is geting poor and poor inuyo chimene mumapindula ndichani. Tizichedwa ndikukangana mapeto ake tisowa chogawana please masakho apita maso athu pasogolo, azungu kuti atukuke amapanga chimodzi teyeni tisegule maso tisamagonebe
Matako ur comment is Satanic, u r one of those people who would stop the government from funding Prisons becoz taxpayers should not feed criminals! Ife tikuvutika koopysa ndiye iwe ukuti Irish Government isatipatse chithandizo, chamba chani? That’s really backward! Most of the times when our President goes for a State visit especially to developed States he is not welcomed by the President/Prime Minister of that country! Its usually the Minister of Foreign Affairs or State! There is nothing unusual here but u guys kusonyeza umbuli
Ife a boma la DPP sitikunyengelelanso nzungu wina aliyese tilibe nawo ntchito akagwele uko. Apa zikuchita kuwoneka kuti boma silinamuyitane, wabwela kufuna kwake. Akatelo azitiwuza kuti tizikwatana amuna okhaokha, akazi okhaokha basi, ali mukapanda kutelo sitikuthandizani. Mumatiyesa ife zisilu zanu eti? PETER AZAKAMUCHINGAMILA PRESIDENT PUTIN NDI WAKU CHINA, OSATI ASATANAWA. KODI MUMATI KAKAMILA BWANJI MUMAFUNA CHANI? IFETU MULUNGU ATITHANDIZA ZITHU ZIKHALA BWINO MUZACHITA MANYAZI YEMBEKEZANI.
He has just cancelled the trip to Zambia, expecting the Visitor.
Now he is even delegating to the Airport, then later he will also send somebody to State Banquet.
Delegated the HE is reducing costs kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
Zinthuzitu kumazitsata. President salandila President zake paairport. It is the duty of the Minister in waiting to do that unless he himself decides to do so himself. Otherwise it is not a must. The minister in waiting presents the visiting President to the Welcoming President at his official residence. Even akamapita ku Salima ko plus malo ena otero azipita the Minister is waiting not the President. Monga ndikunama. Sizinali choncho even nthawi ya Madala Angwazi? Mabulutu inu including no 11 osamaonetsela ubulutu wanu pa net pano. Kumazitsata izi
