Majaliwa vows to protect Cuban friendship

DAILY NEWS Reporter
THE Prime Minister, Mr Kassim Majaliwa, has pledged to uphold good relations nurtured by previous leadership with other nations, including the one with the Republic of Cuba.

Mr Majaliwa said this in Cuba on Thursday evening when he arrived in the country and met the Deputy Foreign Minister of Cuba, Ms Anna Teressa and held talks with her on strengthening the two countries bilateral relations.
“We recognise the existing ties between Tanzania and Cuba from way back during the leadership of the late Father of the Nation, Mwl Julius Nyerere,” said Mr Majaliwa. During the PM’s visit in Cuba, he is expected to meet and hold talks with various top government officials of the country with the aim of promoting cooperation in various areas including health, education and agriculture.
Among other areas of friendship noted by Premier Majaliwa includes social, economic and political, citing an example of the health sector where doctors from Cuba travelled to Tanzania to attend to patients suffering from major cases.
Mr Majaliwa further observed that during the tour, he is going to meet with the business community in Cuba to highlight on investment opportunities in Tanzania, particularly in the industrialisation sector as well as promote attractions of the country.
On her part, Ms Anna extended recognition to the government of Tanzania for cementing their relations between the two countries, pledging to further strengthen it. She made use of the chance to applaud the fifth phase government under the leadership of President John Magufuli for his initiative to fight against corruption, promote accountability and advocating for the less privileged.
