List of diplomatic missions of Malawi

This is a list of diplomatic missions of Malawi.^[1]

Location of diplomatic missions of Malawi

Malawi's Former President Muluzi continued the pro-Western foreign policy established by his predecessor, Hastings Banda. It maintains excellent diplomatic relations with principal Western countries. Malawi's close relations with South Africa throughout the apartheid era strained its relations with other African nations. Following the collapse of apartheid in 1994, Malawi developed, and currently maintains, strong diplomatic relations with all African countries.

Honorary consulates are excluded from this listing.
