President Dr Lazarus Chakwera has urged foreign investors to make Malawi the home of their investment.

Chakwera made the call in Lilongwe on Tuesday at the start of the 2023 Malawi Investment Forum at the Bingu International Convention Centre (BICC).

He said Malawi has plenty opportunities in three strategic areas of agriculture, tourism and mining which he also said remain the best pathway to elevate the country to middle-income status.

President Chakwera said Malawi’s foreign policy focuses on economic diplomacy.

He said Malawi appreciates development partners who understand and respect the focus, as opposed to those who come to busy the country with priorities and agendas that are not appropriate for the nation.
