US Ambassador to Malawi David Young is retiring effective immediately as the U.S. ambassador to Malawi after a career in public service that has spanned 34 years.

This is according to a statement from the US Embassy in Malawi dated February 12, 2024.

Reads the statement: “Serving as U.S. Ambassador to Malawi has been one of the greatest honors of my life. I am proud of our work together to save lives and change lives for good, and I know the US-Malawi partnership will continue to endure. America ndi Malawi ndi Pachibale. I want to help make a difference educating and inspiring future leaders and want to begin this next season of service now” said Young as quoted in the statement.

Amy Diaz has since assumed duties as Chargé d’Affaires at the U.S. Embassy until a successor is nominated by the White House, confirmed by the Senate, and arrives in Malawi.
