Tanzania, Malawi to revisit talks on ‘spies’ and border dispute

Tanzanian and Malawian government officials will meet for three days in February to iron out diplomatic differences arising from a border dispute and the recent arrest and prosecution in northern Malawi of eight Tanzanians accused of espionage.

According to officials in the Tanzanian Foreign Ministry, a Joint Permanent Commission set up to deal with the two matters will sit in Lilongwe between February 3 and 5.
