ON its 87th anniversary of its national day this week, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has assured Tanzania of its continued support through constant coordination of development efforts between them.
Mohammed Al-Malik, Ambassador of the
Kingdom of Saudia Arabia to Tanzania, reiterated his country’s pledge
last Wednesday night in Dar es Salaam at the commemoration of the
kingdom’s National Day.
The envoy disclosed that Saudi Arabia
would always look forward to further economic cooperation with Tanzania
and increased economic partnership, particularly in the energy,
manufacturing and agriculture sectors, all for mutual and common
interest.
He said his country had always remained
‘keen’ on extending valuable assistance to Tanzania in various fields,
such as infrastructure development -- building roads, water supply,
health and education, as well as general support to efforts aimed at
poverty alleviation and refugee relief work.
He added that the two countries were
linked by friendly historic ties based on a “spirit of understanding and
mutual respect of each other. And, within the framework of such
bilateral relationship, the two nations signed a bilateral agreement
last year covering various economic, trade, investment sectors, youth
and sports cooperation.
On his part, the Minister of Natural
Resources and Tourism, Prof Jumanne Maghembe, who was the guest of
honour, hailed the royal Kingdom for its remarkable achievements to-date
-- in particular, for its commitment to regional stability and quest
for prosperity not just for Saudi Arabia but also across the globe,
notably Tanzania.
Prof Maghembe also acknowledged Saudi
development funding in the constructions of rural roads, rehabilitation
of hospitals and ex pansion of water and sanitation projects that have
had positive impacts on the livelihoods of Tanzanians.
The minister also assured the Saudi
envoy of this country’s undertaking to further strengthen the
relationship between the two countries. On September 23 every year, the
Kingdom of Saudi Arabia celebrates the unification of the Kingdom of
Saudi Arabia established in 1932 by its founder, King Abdul Aziz bin
Abdulrahman Al Saud.
