El-Adawy said his office will continue to work with the country and give Malawians opportunities to study in Egypt.

Speaking at the ceremony, the Malawian Principal Secretary for Human Resources, Blessings Chilabade, said the scholarships mean a lot to his country.

"These scholarships mean so much to the Malawi nation because we will have expertise in the areas where we have skills shortage," he said.

"It is better to teach someone how to fish instead of actually handing them the fish itself."
