Malawi (4)

At last, the local media in Malawi deign to take note of the First Minister's visit. The report in The Nation is perhaps less than overwhelming but it is nonetheless welcome. Particularly in the light of the total lack of interest by the local media in last month's Tartan Week - as far as I could see, the entire event was totally ignored by the New York Times and the New York Post. But I suppose the main aim of these trips abroad is less to impress the locals and more to assure the folks back home of the Executive's international credibility (provided the last three words are not entirely an oxymoron).
