Tanzania, Malawi to hold meeting next month

Xinhua, January 27, 2017 Adjust font size:

Tanzania and Malawi will next month hold a meeting to discuss issues that may include disputes over border and suspected espionage, a senior official said Thursday.

Mindi Kasiga, a spokesperson of Tanzania's foreign ministry, said the meeting will be held from February 3 to 5 in the Malawian capital Lilongwe.

She said the joint meeting will resolve a number of issues for the well-being of the two countries.

"It is our hope that the Tanzanians alleged to be spies recently will also be one of the agenda and solved in a peaceful manner and that of the border crisis emerged a few years ago," she said in a statement.

Relations between the two countries have been in trouble in recent years over the ownership of a portion of Lake Nyasa in Tanzania and Lake Malawi in Malawi. Endit
