malawi-China Relations

On December 28, 2007, the Chinese Foreign Ministry announced in Beijing that China and Malawi had established diplomatic relations. To do so, Malawi had to cut off the 41-year-old relationship it had with Taiwan . Current Malawi President Joyce Banda stated that, "The government of the Republic of Malawi recognizes that there is but one China in the world ... and that Taiwan is an inalienable part of China's territory." Malawi and China then formalized their relations by the signing of a joint communique in Beijing .

Upon the 2012 death of Malawi President Bingu wa Mutharika, many people wondered what would happen to the China-Malawi relationship with the new president of Malawi, Joyce Banda. The Chinese ambassador to Malawi, Pan Hejun, assured everyone, "The relationship between Malawi and China is at all time high and we very much support reforms president Mrs. Banda is undertaking and I want to assure her and all Malawians of our continued financial support in all sectors of the economy."

In a speech given by Pan Hejun, he stated why China is interested in developing relations with Malawi. He stated the long history between the two nations and he also stated how the African nations helped China in the past by saying, "We Chinese people never forget that in 1972, it was the African brothers, together with other friendly countries helped China restore its seat in the United Nations." He finshed up his statement by saying how China has giving great culture and fortune to the African nations, and how these two nations and their relationship has high hopes for the future.
