SA, Malawi sign co-operation agreement

Foreign Minister Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma and her Malawian counterpart Joyce Banda signed a co-operation agreement between the two countries at Zimbali Lodge near Durban on Monday.

Zuma said that the Joint Permanent Commission for Co-operation Agreement created a "framework" for the two countries' future co-operation in bilateral relations.

Banda said: "There are so many areas where we can co-operate. This brings the guarantee to that co-operation."

In 2005 Malawi was South Africa's 10th largest export destination in Africa.

Zuma was expected sign a number of agreements ahead of the two-day African Union retreat being hosted by Zuma at Zimbali Lodge.

The retreat begins on Tuesday
