LILONGWE-(MaraviPost)-Malawi’s Vice President Jane Ansah, arrived in Angola on Saturday evening to lead the country’s delegation at two major African Union meetings, marking the beginning of an important diplomatic assignment for the nation.

Her arrival at Dr. António Agostinho Neto International Airport in the Icolo e Bengo province was greeted by Foreign Affairs Minister George Chaponda, Malawi’s Ambassador to Angola Margaret Constance Kamoto, and several government officials who welcomed her to the host nation.

According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Dr. Ansah is set to participate in the 7th African Union–European Union Summit, a high-level forum where African and European leaders will revisit and strengthen their cooperation agenda.

This summit will delve into challenges and opportunities related to peace and security, governance, shared prosperity, global cooperation, and human mobility.

Beyond the official summit sessions, the Vice President will hold bilateral engagements with various partner countries.

These discussions will center on Malawi’s strategy to confront its immediate national pressures—including food scarcity, fuel constraints, fertilizer shortages, limited foreign exchange, and supply gaps in essential medicines.

This year’s summit holds symbolic importance as it commemorates 25 years of AU–EU partnership, a milestone reflecting long-standing commitment to collective development and shared political goals.

The event will be co-chaired by Angolan President João Lourenço and European Council President António Costa, bringing together influential leaders who are poised to reshape the future of intercontinental cooperation.

Joining them will be European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and African Union Chair Mahmoud Ali Youssouf, further emphasizing the significance of the gathering.

With the theme “Promoting peace and prosperity through effective multilateralism,” the summit seeks to reinforce collaboration, deepen mutual trust, and chart a course for sustainable development and stability across Africa and Europe.
