“Mozambique shares the largest portion of its border with Malawi. Despite extensive socio-economic ties linking the two countries,
their relationship historically has been a difficult one. This is in marked contrast to Mozambique’s friendly – almost fraternal – relations with its other neighbours. Since President Joyce Banda assumed power in
Malawi on 7 April 2012, however, the two countries have begun a period of warmer relations marked by deeper bilateral co-operation. This paper makes specific recommendations on how to strengthen the
relationship between Mozambique and Malawi.”
