“Congratulations to Norfolk and their sister city Blantyre, Malawi!  I was honored to welcome the Malawi Ambassador, His Excellency Edward Yakobe Sawerengera, and the Mayor of Blantyre, the Honorable Wild Ndipo, to my office today.  We had a good discussion about education, agriculture, and conservation practices.  We found that we shared similar thoughts on many of these issues.
