NOTE NO. 23/2000
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation of
the Republc of Malawi presents its compliments to the Embassy of
the Republic of China and has the honour to refer to the Memora-
ndum of Understanding that was signed between the Governments of
the Republic of Malawi and the Republc of China on 11th Septemb-
er, 1999.
Under the provisions of the Memorandum of Understanding, the Re-
public of China sent experts to install the donated equipment a-
nd to train lectures for the Lilongwe Technical College on how
to manage as well as carry out minor repairs on the equipment.
The Embassy of the Republic of China is aware that these experts
were only contracted to stay in Malawi for a period of 6 months
which will expire in October, 2000. Since the donated equipment
is very new to the lecturers, it is felt that the period stated
in the Memorandum of Understanding for the Chinese to train Mal-
awians lecturers is too short. In this connection, the Governme-
nt of the Republic of Malawi is requesting for an extension of
the period to 18 months to October, 2001. This extension will e-
nable the lecturers to familiarize themselves with the technolo-
gy and sophisticated machines which were donated by the Republic
of China.
Since the donated equipment covered only 5 trades, it would be
greatly appreciated if the Government of the Republic of China
could consider donating additional equipment to cover other sec-
tions such as Welding and Fabrication, and Plumbing and Mechani-
cal Engineering.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation of
the Republic of Malawi avails itself of this opportunity to ren-
ew to the Embassy of the Republic of China the assurances of its
highest consideration.
