PRIME Minister Kassim
Majaliwa has expressed satisfaction over the performance of the
country’s envoy to China, Ambassador Mbelwa Kairuki. Speaking at his
residence in Dar es Salaam when he met the diplomat, the Prime Minister
asked him to further enhance diplomatic and economic ties with the
world’s second largest economy.
He said ambassador Kairuki has displayed a
good performance since he was posted to China. “I must congratulate you
for your efforts to enhance bilateral relations with China. We
sincerely thank you because Chinese nationals who visit this country
have been issuing good reports on various matters, including how you
market the country abroad,” he said.
He added: “You have done a good job of
bringing investors to Tanzania. When we constituted this government, we
focused on creating strong governance systems, including strengthening
our institutions and identifying opportunities.”
He said through establishing strong
governance systems, the government gave Tanzanians the first priority of
owning land then followed by foreigners under special arrangement. “We
thank you for making these government plans well known to the Chinese
who are also witnessing changes.
We have spearheaded the war against graft
that seriously affected the country and investors, including Chinese
themselves and enhanced public accountability,” he said.
Premier Majaliwa said public servants and
all people were now working hard after realising the importance of hard
work. He told Ambassador Kairuiki that the government was in the
programme of marketing tourism by publicising the country’s tourist
attractions.
He said the government decision to buy the
latest big passenger planes was prompted by the plan to haul tourists
directly from their countries to Tanzania. He said the recent visits by
high profile people like former US President Barack Obama to Tanzania
was evidence that the country’s plan to market tourism was yielding
positive results.
