Malawian President Bingu Wa Mutharika met here Saturday with Chinese Assistant Foreign Minister Zhai Jun, who is on a visit to the African nation as an envoy of Chinese President Hu Jintao.
At the meeting with Zhai, the Malawian leader expressed satisfaction with the establishment of diplomatic ties with China and said Malawi's decision to do so is in tune with the global trend in world affairs and has won support from the Malawian people.

The Malawian government will adhere to the one-China policy and support China's efforts toward national reunification, Mutharika said.
