UN General Assembly
2020

At this key moment for international cooperation, and during the 75th Anniversary of the United Nations, unity is paramount towards the realisation of our shared vision of a healthy, equitable, peaceful and a more sustainable world. Malawi values partnerships in achieving common goals. It is for this reason that we accepted the responsibility of chairing the LDC Group up to 2022; and the Southern African Development Community (SADC) from August, 2021. Our membership in the African Union Peace and Security Council up to 2022 is premised on the same calling. Malawi is committed to make its humble contribution in all UN efforts including in the UN Human Rights Council, where we are seeking membership in 2021. In keeping with the adage, “charity begins at home”, we are committed to continue contributing a battalion of the Malawi Defence Force to the UN Peacekeeping Mission under a SADC Force Intervention Brigade in Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. You can count on our humble contribution towards the UN fit for purpose in the 21st Century. I Thank You for Your Attention,
