President Peter Mutharika has been nominated to sit in the advisory council of the Economic and Trade Cooperation of African Youth.
Malawi’s representative to the 2018 China-Africa Youth Festival, Chimwemwe Kaonga disclosed this during an audience with the Chinese Ambassador to Malawi, Liu Hongyang, in Lilongwe last week.
Kaonga said Mutharika was chosen alongside President George Weah of Liberia, Forum on China-Africa Ambassador Zhou Yuxiao, Aliko Dangote and Patrice Lumumba.
Held under the theme “Connecting the Dreams of the Youth and Creating a New Era for China-Africa friendship”, the festival brought together 105 youth leaders from 54 African members of the Forum on China – Africa Cooperation (FOCAC).
