H.E Jakaya Mrisho Kikwete, President of the United Republic of Tanzania has sent a congratulatory message to H.E Sauli Niinistö, President of the Republic of Finland on the occasion of the National Day of Finland on 6^th December, 2013.

The message reads as follows:

“Your Excellency,

SauliNiinistö,

President of the Republic of Finland,

Helsinki,

FINLAND.

Your Excellency,

I am very pleased to join the International community to salute you, the Government and through you, the people of the Republic of Finland on this special occasion of Finland’s 96^th Independence Anniversary.

It gives me pleasure to note the impressive achievements Finland has made in different areas notably technology, forestry, education, health, scientific research and construction industry. In the area of development cooperation, Finland has always been at the forefront in supporting developing countries including Tanzania.

I have the firm impression that our two countries would continue to partner and open new avenues in trade and investment matters and thereby support and encourage the role of the private sector in economic development. Tanzania will continue to borrow a leaf from Finland through various channels so as to make the concept of partnership more meaningful.

Please accept Your Excellency, best wishes from the Government and the people of the United Republic of Tanzania for your personal good health, peace and prosperity of the Republic of Finland.

Jakaya Mrisho Kikwete

PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED REPBULIC OF TANZANIA”
