The Malawi leader President Dr. Lazarus Chakwera will tomorrow from 8:30 am officially open the 33rd Malawi International Trade Fair at Chichiri Trade Fair Grounds in Blantyre.
According to official communication from the government, the president will also inaugurate the Malawi Bureau of Standards(MBS) Laboratory and Office Complex at the same venue.
He will later hold a development rally at Chichiri Upper Stadium.
To be held under the theme ” Rebalancing Malawi’s Trade through Industrialization,” The 33rd Malawi International Trade Fair gives an opportunity to Malawi’s businesses to showcase their products and services on top of expanding their network with other entities from within Africa and across the globe.
On the other hand, the new MBS complex will improve standards of the country’s products and services and make them attractive to a larger regional and continental clientele within regional markets and Africa Continental Free Trade Area (AfCTA).
Both events mirror each other in terms of Malawi’s opportunities in trade and investment.
