Ambassador of the
United Republic of Tanzania to the People’s
Republic of China, His Excellency Mbelwa
Kairuki has urged African countries to

opportunities provided by China under China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) which is an official Forum between China and Africa.
This has been addressed during the Youth Forum and 2nd China – Africa Youth Exchange Programme on Poverty Reduction and Development which took place in Beijin, China on 9th October 2017 at Beijing Convention Centre.
Ambassador
Kairuki also expressed concern to the fact that Africa spends USD 35 Billion
every year importing food from outside the continent while it is endowed with
60 percent of the World's arable land. He called on African governments to work
together to implement regional infrastructure projects that would unleash
Africa's economic potential.
The forum
was opened by the Deputy Prime Minister of China His Excellency WANG Yang. In
his remarks Mr. Wang reported remarkable achievements made by China by lifting
hundreds of millions or people out of poverty.
The forum
was also attended by Mr. Tegegnework Gettu, the United Nations
Under-Secretary General and Associate
Administrator of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) who represented
the United Nations Secretary General to the Conference. In his message the United Nations
Secretary General cautioned that globalization and technological progress have
increased inequalities and left millions of people behind. He underscored that
reducing and eradicating poverty is the key to improve lives and realizing the
potential of hundreds of millions of people.

Balozi Baraka Luvanda awasilisha hati za utambulisho kwa Rais Ram Nath Kovind wa India
SPEECH BY
HIS EXCELLENCY BARAKA HARAN LUVANDA AT THE PRESENTATION OF CREDENTIALS
CEREMONY, RASHTRAPATI BHAWAN, NEW DELHI, 19TH SEPTEMBER 2017
Honourable
President Ram Nath Kovind,
Excellencies,
Ladies & Gentlemen,
It
is a great pleasure and honour for me to present my credentials today as the
14th High Commissioner of the United Republic of Tanzania to the Republic of
India. It is, indeed heartening that I present the same to the 14th President
of this Great nation.
Permit
me to convey to Your Excellency the best wishes of His Excellency Dr. John
Pombe Joseph Mgufuli, President of the United Republic of Tanzania to the
Government and the People of the Republic of India.
India
and Tanzania established formal diplomatic ties in 1961 and 1962, respectively.
For many years then, the relationship was largely driven by the shared
ideological commitments to anti-colonialism, anti-racism, south-south
cooperation and the non alignment policies. Today, whilst the strong historical
foundations have been emulated, there has been a pragmatic policy shift with an
increased emphasis being placed on greater and diversified socio-economic,
technical and cultural exchanges.
The
recent and historic high-level visits to spur these bilateral engagements
include that of former President Dr. Jakaya Mrisho Kikwete to India in June
2015 and the visit to Tanzania by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in July 2016.
In
addition to our bilateral cooperation, there has been a mutually agreed
approach towards our multilateral commitments in the area of peace and
security, democracy, equity, good governance and the rule of law.
Your
Excellency, there could no better frameworks for me to start off my call of
duty in India than the existing ones. I am hopeful and determined to scale up these
bilateral exchanges to even greater heights.
Thank you,
(BARAKA HARAN LUVANDA)
HIGH COMMISSIONER OF THE UNITED
REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA TO INDIA
