Malawi President Dr. Lazarus McCarthy Chakwera on Tuesday, took advantage of his presence at the Clinton Global Initiative annual event in New York to convince the audience to come and invest in the country’s agriculture sector.
Updating Malawians through his Facebook page, Chakwera said he capitalized on the meet to woo the audience to invest in agriculture because the sector has great potential.
“Through the meeting, attended by executives and philanthropists from the Fortune 500 club among others, I lobbied the audience to invest in Malawi’s agriculture sector which now has great potential in view of our commercialisation drive characterized by mechanized and large scale irrigation schemes,” he said.
Meanwhile the 78th session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) has officially opened with a call for a better world that is rooted in equity, solidarity and universality.
