The first Trade Connections will be held next month in Glasgow.
Scotland’s former First Minister, Jack McConnell, will officially open the trade fair and seminar, which aims to boost £500,000 worth of trade and stimulate £1 million of investment between Scotland and Malawi.
It’s an opportunity to see the quality of a wide range of products, particularly agricultural products, like coffee and sugar. Other products promoted will include tourism and crafts.
‘The future for the developing countries of Africa is a future based on strong economic foundations, more trade and sustainable jobs,’ said McConnell. ‘This trade fair will help businesses from Malawi promote their products, and therefore help them grow in the future.’
The exhibition will coincide with the second anniversary of the Scotland and Malawi Co-operation Agreement when the two governments agreed to offer practical help to the African nation in four areas, including sustainable economic development.
The exhibition is at Glasgow’s SECC on 1 November.
