Vice President Saulos Klaus Chilima says he is optimistic that Malawians will soon see the benefit of the Korea-Africa Summit trip which the President Dr Lazarus Chakwera delegated him to attend.
Speaking to the media at the end of the Summit, Chilima disclosed that there will be several immediate low-hanging fruits that will be realized from the two-day summit.
He cited trade and agriculture agreements which have been signed between Malawi and Korea, which will among others see increased production of agricultural produce for the export market.
According to the Vice President, the summit which attracted more than 50 heads of state and government, was worth for a country like Malawi to attend.
Among other engagements during the summit, the Vice President had an audience with Korean Prime Minister, Dr Han Duck Soo.
He also had talks with former UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon who now heads the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI), an intergovernmental organization supporting and promoting sustainable economic growth in developing countries currently with 48 member states.
The Vice President also had an interaction with Malawians living in South Korea on several developmental issues.
Dr Chilima has since left for Malawi and is expected to arrive back home on Sunday.
