After the Prime Minister's Office and Ministry of External Affairs step in, Doordarshan offered an "unconditional apology" the African nation of Malawi. One of the DD commentators had allegedly introduced the African nation as among the world's least developed countries during Commonwealth Games opening ceremony on October 3.

The DD Director General Aruna Sharma has tendered a written unconditional apology to the Malawian High Commission for the matter.

In a letter to Malawi's High Commissioner to India Chrissie Chawanje Mughogho, Doordarshan Director General Aruna Sharma said the remarks of the commentator were "unintentional" and "inadvertent".
