“I appealed for more support towards our ATM Strategy to hasten economic growth via job & wealth creation,” Chakwera stated in his message. He noted that President Higgins assured him of Ireland’s continued support, aligning with Malawi’s efforts to achieve the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the MW2063 aspirations.

Ireland has long been a partner in Malawi’s development, contributing to sectors such as health, education, and agriculture. This latest exchange reinforces the strong diplomatic ties between the two nations as they work toward shared goals of sustainable development and poverty eradication.

President Chakwera’s efforts to attract international support for Malawi’s developmental initiatives come at a critical time, with his administration prioritizing job creation and economic transformation to uplift citizens’ livelihoods. The ongoing partnership with Ireland will play a vital role in ensuring these objectives are met, providing Malawi with the tools and resources necessary to achieve long-term sustainable growth.

As President Chakwera continues to pursue avenues for development, the cooperation with Ireland will be key in advancing Malawi’s economic and social progress, particularly in achieving the SDGs and MW2063 goals.
