During the Indian Independence Day celebration at the Indian Embassy in Lilongwe, Indian High Commissioner Anurag Bhushan says the Indian Government pledged to continue supporting Malawi in its developmental agenda.

 “I am happy to state that recently, the Government of India through Exim Bank, has extended a fresh line of credit worth $215.68 million for drinking water projects in Malawi. In addition, India has recently also gifted 10 Indian-made ambulances, 100 000 secondary textbooks and essential medicines worth $2 million.” said Bhushan.

In November 2018, when the Hon. Vice President of India visited Malawi, India committed to extend a helping hand to Malawi by gifting essential medicines. Fulfilling the promise amidst the coronavirus pandemic, India gifted Malawi with essential medicines worth US $ 2 Million last month. On top of that, the Indian High Commission is in the process of obtaining COVID related medicines that will shortly arrive in Malawi, according to a statement by the commission. “The gift of medicines is yet another manifestation of India’s unwavering commitment to stand with Malawi.” says part of the statement
