High Commissioner Tajammul Altaf paid a courtesy call on Rt.Hon. Mizengo Kayanza Peter Pinda, Prime Minister of the United Republic of Tanzania, on 17 February 2012 at the Prime Minister’s Office. 

 

The High Commissioner reiterated congratulations from the Prime Minister of Pakistan to the Tanzanian Prime Minister on his re-election as the Member of Parliament and re-appointment as the Prime Minister. He reaffirmed the commitment of the Government of Pakistan to promote bilateral relations in diverse fields, which was clearly manifest from the re-opening of the Mission in 2009.

            The Prime Minister recalled with appreciation that Pakistan and Tanzania had historically maintained “long tradition of close, cordial and cooperative relations.” He appreciated the re-opening of the Mission and expressed the hope that the coming back of Pakistan would certainly “open a new chapter” in bilateral relations. He added that Tanzania had always considered Pakistan as an important partner, which had all along supported Tanzania. He said he was well aware of “potential and strength of Pakistan” and believed it could engage with Tanzania in its economic development and prosperity.

            The Prime Minister and the High Commissioner discussed various proposals of cooperation. The Prime Minister suggested that the Government of Pakistan, investors and businessmen should explore the possibilities and “harness opportunities” in Tanzania for expanding businesses and investment  in the fields of agriculture, education, defence, infrastructure, trade and industry.
