Tanzanian envoy presents credentials

President Peter Mutharika yesterday received letters of credence from new Tanzanian High Commissioner Victoria Mwakasege at Kamuzu Palace in Lilongwe. Speaking after the ceremony, Mwakasege said her closed-door discussions with Mutharika included the promotion of the strong and historic Tanzania-Malawi bilateral ties through transportation, trade, culture and vibrancy in private sector interactions. When a reporter asked whether the discussions had touched on the Lake Malawi wrangle between Tanzania and Malawi, she firmly responded: “No, we didn’t.” In the picture, Mwakasege is presenting her credentials to Mutharika.—SAMUEL CHUNGA, Lilongwe Bureau Chief
