Malawi will from March 9 to 10 attend the 12th annual CII-Exim Bank Africa Project Conclave forum to be held in New Delhi, India.<\/p>\n
Malawi Investment and Trade Centre (Mitc) will lead the Malawi delegation.<\/p>\n
According to statistics at the International Trade Centre, Malawi\u2019s exports to India rose from $31.7 million in 2014 to $67.6 million in 2015, representing 6.3 percent of Malawi\u2019s exports.<\/p>\n
On the other hand, Malawi\u2019s imports from India declined from $243.2 million in 2014 to $177.8 million in 2015.<\/p>\n
The trade gap for Malawi and India in 2015 stood at $110.2 million.<\/p>\n
Mitc Publicist, Deliby Chimbalu, said the conclave forum is an annual event that brings together business and government leaders from India and Africa to discuss policy and investment opportunities.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Conclave is the most important event for building partnerships and enhancing economic engagement between the two regions and has given new strategic direction to India-Africa economic relations,\u201d Chimbalu said.<\/p>\n
She said the Malawi delegation will consist of both the government and private sector actors from over ten different institutions and companies.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe delegation will promote Malawian goods for export at its exhibition booth and will also promote business projects for investment. During past Conclave\u2019s more than 2,500 projects from all across the African continent worth $256.63 billion have been discussed for investment.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe believe through the forum, Malawi will be able to clinch deals that will steer our economy into the right direction,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Chimbalu further said after the New Dehli forum, Mitc jointly with the India High Commission in Malawi will organise a Malawi-India business meeting scheduled for March 17, 2017 in Lilongwe.<\/p>\n
She said the forum will catalyse the excitement and business opportunities surrounding the Malawi- India partnership.<\/p>\n
