“As people of Guinea–Bissau, we thought it wise to come and deliver our condolences to the President because of the good relation we have with Malawi.

The plane crash was, indeed, a tragedy to the country but we will continue to support Malawi and it is a plea that the unity you have must continue,” he said.

He urged President Chakwera to remain strong, saying “the people of Guinea-Bissau are in solidarity with the people of Malawi”.

The Guinea-Bissau President was expected to meet Madam Mary Chilima to extend his condolences, before returning to his country later in the day yesterday.
