Malawi President Lazarus Chakwera and Tanzania President John Magufuli are currently in talks to strengthen bilateral ties between the two neighbouring countries.
It has been reported that Tanzania has become the fourth SADC country Chakwera has visited since being sworn in as President. He previously visited neighbouring countries Zambia and Mozambique as well as Zimbabwe.
On his visit to Tanzania Chakwera will tour the Port of Dar es Salaam and the Malawi Cargo Centre.
According to a report in the East African, Malawi and Tanzania are undertaking joint infrastructure projects, among them one-stop border posts at Songwe and Kasumulo, Mtwara corridor, as well as in Songwe River Valley.
“The two leaders are also expected to lay the foundation stone at the Mbezi Luis Bus Terminal on the outskirts of Dar es Salaam. The $22-million (Tsh51 billion) bus terminal, which is under construction, will accommodate upcountry and cross-border-bound buses, including those to and from Malawi and will have a capacity of handling about 3 430 buses daily,” the report read.
Chakwera arrived in Tanzania yesterday morning.
