The two countries share a border at Lake Malawi; the border demarcation has been a dispute between the two countries since the independence of both nations. Several diplomatic exchanges have eurpted over time, however, both countries have not come to an agreement. The lake is referred to as Lake Nyasa in Tanzania.[2]
