The head of Ukrainian diplomacy noted that he had been honored to be received by the President of the Republic of Malawi in Lilongwe.

According to Kuleba, the Ukrainian side appreciates Malawi’s firm and consistent stance on Russian aggression against Ukraine, as well as its support for the Peace Summit communique.

“Ukraine is not only grateful; we also want to be helpful. We are aware of the severe impact of climate change on Malawi’s food security. Per President Volodymyr Zelensky’s instructions, I conveyed that Ukraine has decided to assist Malawi as part of our ‘Grain From Ukraine’ program,” Kuleba wrote.

In the course of the meeting, the parties also discussed the potential for mutually beneficial cooperation in agriculture, pharmacy, digitalization, and other sectors.
