President Peter Mutharika arrived in London, United Kingdom (UK) on Saturday through Heathrow Airport where he is attending the UK – Africa Investment Summit slated for Monday.

The summit is expected to woo investors to invest in Malawi as the country will demonstrate through its companies at the summit, areas that require investment.
Malawi Investment and Trade Centre (MITC) chairperson James Chuma told said President Muthariks’s presence at the summit gives confidence to the country’s business delegation.
Chuma said it was encouraging to have the Head of State at the summit, saying it gives confidence to the business community of a successful outcome from the summit which is expected to benefit the country through partnerships to be born from the forum.
According to MITC Chairperson, 16 companies from both the public and private sectors are set to participate in the summit.
“It is very encouraging that there is real growth for Malawi in terms of the economy which needs partnership with some of the foreign companies.
“The summit is one of the greatest forums offering such partnerships and this has given hope for our companies to participate,” he said.
Malawi is among 21 African countries invited to attend the summit.
The summit,which has been convened by the British Prime Minister Boris Johnson,is bringing together the business community, governments and international institutions to showcase and promote investment opportunities across Africa as well as strengthening UK’s partnership with African nations to build a secure future for all the citizens.
The forum is expected to strengthen UK’s partnership with African countries and subsequently build a prosperous future for the people of Africa and the UK.

The most useless and destructive president Malawi has ever had, you are worse than Muluzi who never entered a classroom. How embarrassing
Don’t be fooled investors ….. he will promise the moon but cannot deliver even in Blantyre or Lilongwe.
Insiders in StateHouse in LL have hinted that APM has arranged to purchase some property on the UK. He is going to sign the papers and this was a good opportunity.
He was in China not long ago to woo investors. Where are the investors he is always wooing? Hope the judges will help us get rid of this stupid stinking ass pathetic human being.

What a joke all the from Malawi to welcome the Tippex President
No investor in their right mind would come to invest in Malawi in the current situation. You have a lot to work on such as:
1. Poor infrastructure
2. Unreliable electricity supply
3. Political instability
4. Poor healthcare delivery system
5. Poor security services
6. Poor Governance
The list goes on and on!
Just to sum it all, poor president
Can anybody tell me which investors have come to Malawi since since Mr Maliseche came to Malawi?
