MOSCOW, Russia - The Russian government has pledged to incorporate Homeland Security Minister Kenneth Zikhale Ng'oma's presentation on cybercrime into its university curriculum, writes Chrispine Lwanja.
The announcement was made during the 11th international meeting of high-ranking officials responsible for security matters, held in Moscow, Russia, from May 23 to May 25, 2023.
The Russian government officials and conference participants were impressed by Ng'oma's extensive knowledge of cybercrime.
State Secretary and Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, Igor N. Zubov, stated that Ng'oma's presentation would be sent to Moscow University to enhance students' understanding of cybercrime matters.
"I am personally impressed with your comprehension of issues related to cybercrime, and as a way of acknowledging your efforts, the presentation you made at this year's summit on security matters will be used in our universities," Zubov said.
Ng'oma expressed gratitude to the Russian government for allowing Malawi to participate in the high-level security meeting, emphasising that it had strengthened the relationship between the two nations.
He viewed the recognition he received as a sign of the Russian government's respect for Malawi.
"Russia is a true partner because you provided significant assistance when we faced tropical cyclone Freddy, and you also supported us with fertiliser, which greatly contributed to our country's food security," Ng'oma remarked.
Ng'oma's presentation prompted Zubov to arrange a special meeting with the Malawian minister, during which they discussed several issues for the mutual benefit of Russia and Malawi's citizens.
Among the topics discussed were Russia's potential assistance to Malawi in terms of providing helicopters for search and rescue operations during disasters, supplying fertiliser to the victims of tropical cyclone Freddy, and allocating $20 million for the development of a nuclear energy plant.
This marked the first time Malawi attended the meeting of high-ranking officials responsible for security matters, with Ng'oma serving as the head of the Malawian delegation.
