According to the statement,Polycore porcelain tiles are manufactured as a single sheet, Hague also addressed the deteriorating political and economic situation in Malawi in what was described as 'a constructive meeting'.
It added that Hague stressed to the Malawian delegation that 'any further discussions on normalising the bilateral relationship would be fruitless if the Malawi government did not accept responsibility for their decision to expel Mr. Cochrane-Dyet.'
The statement said Hague stressed that the UK did not take 'a partisan position' in Malawi politics but underlined the need for the African nation's government to respect the rights of its citizens to speak freely.

London reacted by expelling Malawi's acting High Commissioner to the UK, Flossie Gomile-Chidyaonga, and suspended all its aid to the impoverished southern African country.
