China’s President makes historical visit to Tanzania






China’s President makes historical visit to

 Tanzania


By TAGIE DAISY MWAKAWAGO

As the climax of the Golden Jubilee celebration of the relations between Tanzania and China nears, President Xi Jinping of the People’s Republic of China later today is expected to make his first State Visit in Tanzania, since he assumed his Presidency earlier this month. 

The visit is forecasted to further cement historical foundation of nearly fifty years' friendship that had existed between the two countries since the era of the Late Founders of both countries, the Late Mwalimu Julius Kambarage Nyerere of then Tanganyika and the Late Mao Zedong of China. 

President Jakaya Mrisho Kikwete, President of the United Republic of Tanzania is expected to receive his counterpart President of China at the Mwalimu Julius Nyerere International Airport in Dar es Salaam today, whereby official talks will follow later in the evening at the State House. 

President Xi Jinping formerly assumed his Presidency on March 13, 2013 by China’s National Legislature, giving him the three titles held by his predecessor, Hu Jintao.  The three titles apart from being President, are that he will also serve as a Head of the Communist Party and a Chairman of China’s military.

Speaking before members of the media, Minister for Foreign Affairs and International Co-operation, Hon. Bernard K. Membe (MP), said that this is an historical visit as China has been a close friend and a good partner of Tanzania for nearly fifty years.  Tanzania and China have been historical friendly allies since their signing of the Treaty of Friendship in February 1965.

“China is ranked as one of the top foreign investors in Tanzania’s national economy, and is expected to enter into further cooperative agreements with Tanzania in the sectors of agriculture, industries, energy and infrastructure,” said Hon. Membe. 

During his State Visit, President Xi Jinping also is expected to make his first international speech aims at highlighting Chinese Foreign Policy, in particular, the Afro-Sino future relations.  The China’s new stand on Afro-Sino relations is anxiously awaited due to recent first speech made by President Jinping’s as China’s new president whereby he promised his citizens to pursue a “great renaissance of the Chinese nation” and to deliver a more equitable society and a more effective, less corrupt government.

Since in the 1960s, China has contributed significant aid towards Tanzania that included the built of Tanzania-Zambia Railway (TAZARA), Friendship Textile Mill, Mubarali Rice Farm, Kiwira Coal Mine and Mahonda Sugar Cane Factory.  Further, Chinese Government has also cooperated with Tanzania in development projects in sectors of trade and agriculture, including the current project-building of the Convention Centre dedicated to the Late Mwalimu Julius Nyerere.  The two Governments have cooperated in many areas that include economy, trade, culture, education, health, and whereby Chinese investors have grown interest to invest in the extraction of natural resources particularly natural gas and oil in Tanzania.

The Tanzania-Chinese relation has grown profoundly for a decade since China established diplomatic relations with Tanganyika and Zanzibar on December 9, 1961 and December 11, 1963 respectively.  The political, economic and cultural relations have grown and prosper throughout the years to effect significant exchange of official visits between the two countries.  Since his Presidency, the Founder of then Tanganyika, the Late Mwalimu Julius Nyerere had visited China five times, including other Leaders such as former President Ali Hassan Mwinyi, former President Benjamin William Mkapa, President Kikwete when he was a Minister for Foreign Affairs and many others.  For Chinese Government, the officials visited Tanzania included Premier Zhou Enlai, Premier Zhao Ziyang, Vice Premier Hui Liangyu last year 2012 and several Foreign Ministers that included Hon. Tang Jiaxuan.

During his two-days State Visit, President Xi Jinping is expected to officiate the formal hand over ceremony of the Julius Nyerere International Convention Centre (JNICC), which was built by the Chinese Government and thereafter he will participate in a lay of a wreath ceremony at the Chinese Experts Cemetery at Majohe Village in Ukonga, Dar es Salaam.  

President Xi Jinping is expected to travel to South Africa on Monday evening 25 March 2013, upon the end of his State Visit here in Tanzania.

TAARIFA KWA VYOMBO VYA HABARI


220px-Coat of arms of Tanzania.svg f1f71
 

TAARIFA KWA VYOMBO VYA HABARI KUHUSU ZIARA YA RAIS WA JAMHURI YA WATU WA CHINA, MHE. XI JINPING NCHINI, TAREHE 24 – 25 MACHI 2013 ILIYOTOLEWA NA WAZIRI WA MAMBO YA NJE NA USHIRIKIANO WA KIMATAIFA, MHE. BERNARD K. MEMBE (MB), TAREHE 22 MACHI 2013
1.0     UTANGULIZI
1.1     Ndugu waandishi, nimewaita leo ili kuwaeleza kuhusu ziara ya kihistoria hapa nchini ya Rais wa Jamhuri ya Watu wa China, Mhe. Xi Jinping ambayo itafanyika hivi karibuni. Najua mtakuwa mmekwishasikia kuwa Rais huyu atafika nchini hivi karibuni.
Sasa niwatangazie rasmi kuwa taarifa hii ni sahihi na ziara hiyo itafanyika tarehe 24 – 25 Machi, 2013. Ziara hii ni ya kwanza kwa Rais Xi barani Afrika mara tu baada ya kuchaguliwa katika nafasi hiyo ya Urais mnamo tarehe 14 Machi, 2013.
1.2     Mahusiano  ya  Tanzania na China yametoka mbali, tangu enzi ya waanzilishi wa mataifa haya mawili, yaani Mwalimu Julius Nyerere wa Tanzania na Mao Zedong  wa China. Ifahamike kuwa, kutokana na mahusiano haya ndipo mmoja ya miradi mikubwa kabisa iliyofanywa na China barani Afrika ulitokea. Mradi huu ni reli ya Tanzania na Zambia (TAZARA). Pamoja na kuwa mradi wa kimaendeleo, reli hii ya TAZARA ilitusaidia katika ukombozi wa bara la Afrika – kama moja ya njia za usafiri, hivyo kuifanya China kuwa rafiki wa kweli. Mradi mwingine mkubwa ni ujenzi wa jengo la Umoja wa Afrika, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Haya, kati ya mengineyo, yanafanya ugeni huu kuwa wa kihistoria na heshima kubwa kwetu.
 1.3    Rais Xi anakuja kwa mwaliko wa Rais wa Jamhuri ya Muungano wa Tanzania, Mhe. Jakaya Mrisho Kikwete na akiwa nchini atafanya mazungumzo na mwenyeji wake Mheshimiwa Rais Kikwete, na Rais wa Zanzibar na Mwenyekiti wa Baraza la Mapinduzi, Mhe. Dkt Ali Mohamed Shein. Mheshimiwa Xi ataambatana na mke wake, pamoja na Maafisa Waandamizi wa Serikali ya China wasiopungua 25.
2.0     RATIBA YA MGENI KWA KIFUPI
2.1     Rais Xi Jinping atawasili nchini siku ya jumapili tarehe 24 Machi, 2013 saa 10:25 jioni katika Uwanja wa Ndege wa Kimataifa wa Mwalimu Julius Nyerere kwa ndege maalumu aina ya Boeing 747 ambapo atalakiwa na Viongozi mbalimbali wa Kitaifa wakiongozwa na Rais Jakaya Kikwete.
2.2     Baadaye Rais Xi pamoja na ujumbe wake watafanya mazungumzo rasmi na Rais Jakaya Kikwete pamoja na Viongozi Waandamizi wa Serikali ya Jamhuri ya Muungano wa Tanzania. Mazungumzo hayo yataanza saa 12:15 jioni na yatafanyikia Ikulu.
2.3     Baada ya mazungumzo rasmi, Rais Xi pamoja na mwenyeji wake Mheshimiwa Rais Jakaya Kikwete watashuhudia utiaji saini wa Makubaliano na Mikataba mbalimbali (kumi na tisa) ya ushirikiano baina ya Serikali ya Jamhuri ya Muungano wa Tanzania/na Serikali ya Mapinduzi ya Zanzibar  kwa upande mmoja na Serikali ya Jamhuri ya Watu wa China kwa upande mwingine. Kwa kifupi mikataba hiyo inahusu kukuza uwekezaji na biashara baina ya nchini za Tanzania na China, kukuza ushirikiano wa kiutamaduni baina ya nchi hizi mbili na watu wake, nk.
2.4     Baada ya tukio hilo, Rais Xi pamoja na ujumbe wake watahudhuria dhifa ya kitaifa itakayoandaliwa  kwa heshima yake na Rais Jakaya Kikwete. Dhifa hiyo itafanyika Ikulu kuanzia saa 1:40 usiku. Hilo ndilo litakuwa tukio la mwisho kwa siku ya kwanza.
2.5     Siku itakayofuata ya tarehe 25 Machi, 2013 saa 3:10 asubuhi Rais Xi atafanya mazungumzo rasmi na Rais wa Zanzibar na Mwenyekiti wa Baraza la Mapinduzi, Mhe. Ali Mohamed Shein pamoja na ujumbe wa Viongozi Waandamizi kutoka Serikali ya Mapinduzi ya Zanzibar.
2.6     Tukio litakalofuata litakuwa ni uzinduzi na makabidhiano rasmi ya kituo cha Mikutano cha Kimataifa cha Mwalimu Julius Kambarage Nyerere kilichojengwa kwa msaada wa Serikali ya China kwa lengo la kumuenzi Mwalimu Nyerere. Baada ya makabidhiano ndipo Rais Xi atatoa hotuba maalumu kwa Tanzania, Afrika na Dunia kwa ujumla. Hotuba hiyo itajikita katika kuelezea Sera ya Serikali mpya ya China kwa bara la Afrika. Watu kutoka kada mbalimbali kama vile Wahadhiri wa Vyuo Vikuu, Wanafunzi, Wabunge, Viongozi na Maafisa Waandamizi wa Serikali, Wafanyabiashara, n.k. wamealikwa kuhudhuria ukumbini hapo.
2.7     Mchana wa tarehe 25 Machi, 2013 Rais Xi Jinping ataelekea katika Makaburi ya Wataalamu wa Kichina ya Majohe yaliyopo katika kijiji cha Majohe – Ukonga ambapo atatoa heshima zake kwa Wachina waliofariki wakati wakijenga Reli ya TAZARA.
2.8     Baada ya hapo Rais Xi ataelekea Uwanja wa Ndege wa Julius K. Nyerere ambapo ataondoka saa 10:40 jioni kuelekea nchini Afrika Kusini kuhudhuria Mkutano wa tano wa Wakuu wa Nchi za BRICS.
 
3.0     FAIDA ILIYOPATA TANZANIA KUTOKANA NA UHUSIANO NA CHINA
3.1     Jambo kubwa Tanzania inalojivunia tangu kuanzisha uhusiano na China ni kukua kwa urafiki wa karibu sana na China;  urafiki wa kuaminiana na kusaidiana katika nyanja mbalimbali za kitaifa, kikanda na kimataifa. Uhusiano huo wa karibu unazidi kukua kila kukicha.
3.2     Kwa upande wa ushirikiano wa kiuchumi Tanzania inajivunia miradi mbalimbali ya kimaendeleo iliyotekelezwa kwa ushirikiano na China. Baadhi ya miradi hiyo ni pamoja na:

            i.    Mradi wa Reli ya TAZARA – kama nilivyoeleza hapo awali Mradi huu umekuwa mhimili na kiungo muhimu sana katika ukuzaji wa uchumi wa Tanzania na nchi jirani za Zambia, DRC, Zimbabwe n.k, hususan  katika sekta ya usafirishaji wa rasilimali ghafi, bidhaa za kibiashara na abiria
 
           ii.    Kiwanda cha nguo cha URAFIKI – (licha ya changamoto kadhaa zinazokikabili) kiwanda hiki kimetoa ajira kwa Watanzania wengi, pamoja na soko kwa pamba inayolimwa hapa nchini.
 
         iii.    Miradi mikubwa ya maji ya Shinyanga, Dar es Salaam na Pwani.
 
          iv.    Viwanja vya kisasa vya michezo – Uwanja wa Taifa (Dar es Salaam) na Karume Stadium (Zanzibar).
 
           v.    Kituo cha maonesho na majaribio ya zana za kilimo cha Mvomero, Morogoro.
 
          vi.    Kituo cha Mikutano cha Kimataifa cha Mwalimu Julius K. Nyerere. Manufaa ya Kituo hiki cha Mikutano ni kama yale yanayopatikana katika Kituo cha Kimataifa cha Mikutano cha Arusha (AICC).
 
        vii.    Mradi wa ujenzi wa mkongo wa Taifa kwa Tanzania bara na Zanzibar – mradi huu ni muhimu sana katika maendeleo ya sekta ya Teknohama (Teknolojia ya Habari na Mawasiliano). Manufaa yake yatapatikana si tu hapa Tanzania lakini pia kwa nchi za jirani kama vile Rwanda, Burundi, n.k, kwani huduma hii itatolewa kibiashara.
 
      viii.    Mradi wa bomba la gesi kutoka Mtwara hadi Dar es Salaam – Mradi huu utakapokamilika hapo mwakani utatupatia uhakika wa umeme, pamoja na kupunguza kwa kiasi kikubwa gharama zake. Pia utapelekea kupungua kwa gharama za maisha kwa ujumla na kukua kwa kipato cha mtu mmoja mmoja kiuchumi.
 
          ix.    Manufaa mengine mengi yanatarajiwa kupatikana mara baada ya ziara.

 
4.0     MATARAJIO YA TANZANIA KUTOKANA NA ZIARA HII
4.1     Katika ziara hii ya kihistoria Tanzania inatarajia kufaidika kwa namna mbalimbali kama ifuatavyo:
 

            i.    Kufungua milango ya uwekezaji katika sekta mbalimbali. Ziara hii inafuatiliwa na kumulikwa na nchi karibu zote duniani; pamoja na makampuni makubwa kila kona ya dunia. Ziara ya Rais wa huyu wa China inatuma ujumbe kwa wawekezaji kote duniani kuhusu mazingira mazuri na fursa za uwekezaji zinazopatikana nchini Tanzania.

 
           ii.     Wakati wa ziara hii mikataba na makubaliano zaidi ya 19 yatatiwa saini kati ya Serikali za Jamhuri ya Muungano wa Tanzania na Serikali ya Mapinduzi ya Zanzibar kwa upande mmoja, na Serikali ya China kwa upande mwingine (tafadhali rejea kiambatisho Na.1 kwa orodha ya Makubaliano na Mikataba iyakayotiwa saini.)
 
Kama ilivyoelezwa hapo awali, Mikataba na makubaliano haya yanagusa sekta za kilimo kibiashara, uwekezaji, uendelezaji wa miundombinu, miradi ya maji na umeme, fursa za kimasomo kwa vijana wa Kitanzania nchini China, nk.
 
5.0     HITIMISHO
5.1     Uhusiano kati ya Tanzania na China ni wa muda mrefu tangu miaka ya 1950 wakati bado Tanzania (Tanganyika kwa wakati huo) ikiwa katika harakati za kupigania Uhuru. Mwaka kesho (2014) nchi zetu mbili zitasherehekea miaka 50 ya uhusiano wa kidiplomasia. Uhusiano huu unatoa picha ya ukaribu uliopo kati ya Serikali za nchi za Tanzania na China pamoja na watu wake.
5.2     Hivyo basi, napenda kuchukua fursa hii kuwaomba Watanzania wote kwa ujumla tujitokeze kwa wingi kumlaki Rais Xi Jinping atakapokuwa anawasili kutoka Uwanja wa Ndege wa Kimataifa wa Julius K. Nyerere mpaka Hoteli ya Serena atakapofikia kwa kupitia Barabara ya Pugu/Julius K. Nyerere.
