US embassy cable - 04LILONGWE630

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

1. Acting Director of Civil Aviation Justin Mkandawire told 
econoff on July 8 that the GOM will likely support the USG's 
bid for re-election as a Category 1 country to the Council of 
the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), as it 
has done in the past.  Mkandawire said the GOM has not yet 
selected its delegation for the ICAO conference, but he 
anticipates newly appointed Minister of Transport and Public 
Works Henry Mussa will represent the GOM.  Mkandawire said 
that once the head of delegation has been selected, he will 
officially recommend that the GOM support the USG's 
re-election.
