Concluding RemarksIn Malawi, Chemistry is the basis of all science since it is the matter around which society, industry and development revolves.Development of chemistry over the decades has had a direct impact on social economic development and the growth of Industry.It is therefore fitting that industry and users of chemistry come together occasionally to take stock of the development of the profession
