China’s
government has revealed plans to set up a Chinese cultural centre in
Tanzania that will accommodate 100-120 Chinese students at a time.
The plans were revealed over the weekend by the
Cultural Counsellor from the Chinese Embassy, Liu Dong, as he
highlighted expectations in the wake of Chinese President Xi Jinping
visit last week.
“Right now a discussion on how to implement the said project between Tanzania and China is underway…,” he said.
Next year, China will mark the 50th anniversary of
the establishment of diplomatic relations between Tanzania and China. It
is planned that the said centre be up and running by then so that both
countries may stage performances to promote cultural relations.
But the center is only one of many more short and
long term plans entered into contract by the two countries when their
diplomatic heads convened in Dar es Salaam.
The diplomat revealed that both countries have
agreed to develop better business and professional relations, increase
investment through large infrastructure projects like transport and
communication, and most of all in agriculture.
All in all, the two countries will increase
relations with Tanzania benefiting from the technology transfer and
experiences while China secure investment grounds as well as a growing
market.
Liu Dong made clear that China will continue to
support Tanzania and further pledged to encourage the ‘giant’ China
firms to invest in Tanzania as well as bring on board the Chinese
financial institutions to support the said projects.
He also noted that the Embassy of the People’s
Republic of China in Tanzania will live up to the agreement signed by
President Xi Jinping and President Jakaya Kikwete, to open a new chapter
of social and economic relationships between the two countries.
