    It all began during the Ming Dynasty (morethan 500 years ago); as historical recordstestify. Evidence found in the discoveries ofChinese porcelain and iron artifacts in thedebris of flourishing East African coastalsettlements and towns such as Kilwa; provedthat trade relations between East Africa andespecially Tanzania and Chinese merchantshad an early beginning.

    Hence it is not by accident that the foundingfathers of the two nations (the late JuliusNyerere of Tanzania and late Chairman MaoZe Dong of the Peoples Republic of China),

    further cemented the centuries old friendshipbetween people of China and Africa; ascertaining a Chinese old saying that, abosom friend know no distance. Even living ten thousand miles away, they feelclose to each other like neighbours.

    During the early days of Tanzanias independence and the period of freedomfighting in Southern Africa, China and Tanzania stood together and havesince safeguarded their state sovereignties. In recent times, this connectionhas soared to greater heights. For example, since the first Chinese volunteerdoctors and nurses arrived in Tanzania in 1969 to date (2013), close to athousand of them have served in Tanzania. Similar numbers of Tanzanians havesince graduated from Chinese universities and institutions of higher learning. AnAfrican Traditional Medicine Research Centre was jointly established by bothTanzania and Chinese scientists at the Muhimbili School of Medicine in Dar esSalaam. Few years ago, at the same Referral and Teaching Hospital, throughChinese financial grant, Tanzania government built a state of the art cardiologyand Open Heart Surgery Centre.

    In the field of agriculture; demonstration farms and centres were established,agricultural implements factory constructed and Urafiki (Friendship) Textile Mills

    built. The landmark project during those early days was the famous Tanzania Zambia Railway (TAZARA). China accepted the request by both Tanzania andZambia when the World Bank and developed Western countries turned theproject down. This is another living example of Chinas selflessness to Tanzania.In this project China again lived up to the spirit of a friend in need is a friendindeed with respect to Tanzania.

    Following the formulation of The Forum on China - Africa Cooperationframework of action, Chinese and Tanzania governments granted more openmindset to investment undertakings in our countries. In Tanzania, this enabledmore big Chinese companies to embark on mega investments schemes (incollaboration with Tanzania Companies) in such areas as coal and iron ore,mining, exploration, drilling, transportation and processing of natural gas,construction of Fibre Optic IT Infrastructure Backbone, Construction of roads

    and new port on the basis of Public-Private Partisanship. Between June andDecember 2012, China Exim Bank made available about 18 billion Yuan (aboutUS$ 3 billion) to finance most of the above projects. During the year 2013, majorChinese Banks namely the China Development Bank and the Agricultural Bankof China, have decided t o enter the Tanzania financial markets and collaboratewith similar local institutions to provide funding for more potential projects.

    At the same time, some of the leading banks in Tanzania have establishedChina-Desk in order to facilitate f inancial transactions for traders and investorsfrom both China and Tanzania. That means traders from China and Tanzaniawill be able to access banking services in either country without language andexchange rate barriers.

    We in Tanzania understand that China, like any other country in the world hasto pursue policies based on its national interests. And as long as t hose specificpolicies do not conflict with our sovereign interest or affect our plans to achievesustainable development, we cannot f ind reasons to subscribe to suspicions thattheres a negative motive in Chinas increasing interest in Africa and Tanzaniain particular.

    Your Excellency, Comrade President Xi Jinping and

    Madam Peng Liyuan;Excellences;Distinguished Guests;Ladies and Gentlemen;

    Once again I heartily welcome you and First Lady Madam Peng Liyuan,

    to Tanzania. Congratulations on your well-deserved election to the highest

    office of your great country as Secretary General of the Communist Party of

    China and most recently President of the Peoples Republic of China.

    We are very pleased and, greatly humbled that Africa is top of your agenda

    and that Tanzania was your first African country of choice to visit, since you

    assumed the Presidency. This is a tribute of Chinas gesture of friendship

    and solidarity towards Tanzania and we are both excited and anxious to use

    this occasion effectively to dialogue about opportunities as well as broader

    matters regarding China-Africa relations.

    Your Excellency;

    Ladies and Gentlemen;

    We are gathered here this morning to inaugurate and officially handover the

    Julius Nyerere Convention Centre built with the support and assistance of

    the Government and People of China. This is another important milestone

    in the cooperation and unity between our two nations and peoples. Indeed,

    it is also quite befitting that this monumental building bears the name of the

    founding father of Tanzania and of China-Afri-Tanzania relations.

    The Convention Centre joins the long list of other symbols of Sino-Tanzania

    friendship and cooperation. These include, among others, the Tanzania-Zambia Railway, Urafiki Textiles Mills, the National Stadium and several

    others which for brevity of time I will not mention.

    The Julius Nyerere Convention Centre will provide another modern

    conference facility for Tanzania and will be the first of its kind in Dar es

    Salaam. It will now be easy for Dar es Salaam to host local and international

    conferences which require facilities like the ones available at this Convention

    Centre. I am sure it will also be a source of promoting conference tourism for

    the City of Dar es Salaam.

    Allow me, at this juncture to acknowledge and pay homage to your

    predecessor, His Excellency President Hu Jintao, for accepting my request

    and making it possible for this magnificent Julius Nyerere Convention Centre

    to be built. The people of Tanzania will forever cherish this as a mark of true

    friendship.

    Your Excellency;

    Before I conclude let me express my profound gratitude to China for its

    amicable policy towards Africa. It has worked well and we have no doubt

    that the people of China will continue to walk with the people of Africa. So

    far China has been a dependable supporter and ally of African countries and

    other Third World countries, in their quest for supp ort to their developmentefforts and plea for a just and eq uitable world economic order. We are eagerly

    waiting to hear from you on the policy of your administration towards Africa.

    It is now my singular honour and pleasure to welcome you to address this

    audience.

    Long live China-Tanzania friendship! Long live China - Africa friendship!

    I thank you for your attention.

    Let me begin by extending, on behalf of the Chinese government and

    people and in my own name, cordial greetings and best wishes to allthe friends present today and the brotherly people of Tanzania andacross Africa. I also wish to thank President Kikwete and the Tanzaniangovernment for the thoughtful arrangements you have made for my visitand for your warm hospitality.

    Tanzania is a cradle of mankind. The Tanzanian people have a glorioustradition and have made major contribution to the victory of the Africanpeoples struggle for national independence and their fight against

    apartheid.

    Under the leadership of President Kikwete, Tanzania has maintainedpolitical stability, made big strides in national development, and played

    an important role in African and international affairs. The Chinese peoplerejoice at what you have achieved and sincerely wish the brotherlypeople of Tanzania fresh and still greater achievements.

    Whenever I come to Africa, two things always strike me the most. Oneis the continuous progress. Each time I come to Africa, I am deeplyimpressed by the new developments on this continent, which are reallyencouraging. The other is your overwhelming warmth. The sincerefriendship of the African people toward the Chinese people is as warmand unforgettable as the sunshine in Africa.

    As an African saying goes, A river runs deep because of its sources.The friendly exchanges between China and Africa date a long time. In the1950s and 60s, the first-generation leaders of New China Mao Zedong,

    Zhou Enlai and others and African statesmen of the older generationushered in a new epoch in China-Africa relations. Since then, the Chineseand African people have sincerely supported and closely cooperated witheach other in the endeavor to fight against colonialism and imperialismand achieve national independence and liberations, and in the pursuit of

    national development and national revival. A fraternal bond has beenformed in this process, which has seen us through thick and thin.

    Today, thanks to the concerted efforts of both sides, China-Africa relationshave entered a new fast track of all-round development. We have setup the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation and established a new type

    of strategic partnership. Our cooperation in various fields has producednotable results. In 2012, China-trade approached US$200 billion. Therewere over 1.5 million mutual visits between the two sides. Chinascumulative direct investment in Africa topped US$15 billion. This yearmarks the 50th anniversary of Chinese medical teams in Africa. Over

    the last half century, 18,000 Chinese medical personnel have worked inAfrica, providing medical care and treatment to 250 million local patients.

    The African people, too, have given full support and selfless help to theChinese people. When the 2008 Beijing Olympic torch relay came to Dar

    es Salaam, the Tanzanian people welcomed the Olympic flame with songand dance, as if celebrating their own festival. This jubilant occasion hasbeen etched on the memory of the Chinese.

    In the wake of the massive earthquake in Chinas Wenchuan, Africancountries rushed to our assistance. One African country, with a populationof less than two million and not well-off itself, made a generous donationof two million euros to the quake area about one euro per person! Thisoutpouring of compassion has warmed the hearts of the Chinese people.

    In regional and international affairs, too, China and Africa have steppedup coordination and collaboration and effectively upheld the commoninterests of developing countries. Friendship and cooperation between

    the people has become a symbol of China-Africa relations and is wellreceived by the international community.

    Our joint efforts over the past five decades and the fruitful results that

    they have yielded have laid solid groundwork and provided valuable

  • 7/28/2019 China - Tz Relations[21]

    11/31

    among all countries, irrespective of their size, strength and wealth. Chinaupholds justice and opposes the practice of the big bullying the small, thestrong lording over the weak, and the rich oppressing the poor as well

    as interference in others internal affairs. China and Africa will continueto support each other on issues involving their core interests and majorconcerns. China will continue to firmly support African countries justposition on regional and international affairs, and safeguard the commoninterests of developing countries. China will continue to firmly supportAfrica in its endeavor to independently resolve issues and make greater

    contribution to peace and security in Africa.

    There is no one-size-fits-all development model in the world. Thediversity of world civilizations and development models should be

    respected by all. China will continue to firmly support African countriesin exploring the development paths that suits their own conditions and

    increase exchange of governance experience with African countries.This will enable us to draw wisdom from each others time-honoredcivilizations and development practice, and better promote the common

    development and prosperity of China and Africa.

    We in China say that harmony in the family leads to success ineverything. Africa is a big family of shared destiny. This year marks the

    50th anniversary of the founding Organisation of African Unity, and it isa milestone in the African peoples pursuit of greater strength throughunity. We sincerely wish to see Africa take bigger strides on the path ofseeking strength from unity and making new achievements in peace anddevelopment, and we will firmly support African in this endeavor.

    China hopes to develop better relations with Africa, and we also hope tosee better relations between other countries and Africa. Africa belongsto the African people. In developing relations with Africa, all countriesshould respect Africas dignity and independence.

    Second, in conducting cooperation with Africa, we stress the importanceof real results. China both advocates and pursues mutually beneficialcooperation with Africa. China is committed to connecting its developmentwith that of Africa, aligning the interests of the Chinese people with thoseof the Africa people, and combining Chinas development opportunities

    with those of Africa. China sincerely hopes to see faster development inAfrican countries and a better life for African people. While developingitself, China has provided support and assistance to African friends tothe best of its ability. In recent years, in particular, China has increasedassistance to cooperation with Africa. China will keep every commitment

    it has made to Africa, both in letter and in spirit.

    China will continue to expand investment and financing cooperation withAfrica, follow through on the commitment of providing a US$20 billion

    credit line to African countries from 2012 to 2015, put into practice

    the partnership on transnational and trans-regional infrastructuraldevelopment, enhance mutually beneficial operation in such areas asagriculture and manufacturing, and help African countries turn resourceendowment into development strength and achieve independent andsustainable development.

    As the saying goes, It is more helpful to teach people how to fish thanto just give them fish. China will actively implement the African TalentsProgram, train 30,000 African professionals in various areas and provide

    18,000 government scholarships to African students from 2013 to 2015,and increase technology transfer and experience sharing with Africa.

    With growth in its own economic and overall strength, China will continue

    to offer, as always, necessary assistance to Africa with no political stringsattached.

    Third, in strengthening China-Africa friendship, we stress the importance

    of affinity. The Chinese and African people have a natural feeling of

  • 7/28/2019 China - Tz Relations[21]

    12/31

    18

    At present, China remains a populous country with a weak economicfoundation and uneven development. While our aggregate GDP may bequite large, once divided by 1.3 billion, the per capita number is onlyaround the 90th place in the world. Some 128 million Chinese are stillliving below the poverty line set by the United Nations. To provide a

    well-to-do life for over 1.3 billion people, there is a long way to go andpersistent and strenuous efforts are still called for. As China continues todevelop, its people will surely lead a better life. However, no matter howdeveloped it may become, China will always see African countries as itstested friends.

    Ladies and Gentlemen,

    China cannot develop in isolation of the world or Africa. The world andAfrica also need China for prosperity and stability. Though separated by

    vast oceans, China and Africa share a strong empathy with each other.We are bonded not only by the profound traditional friendship and closelylinked interests, but also by the dream we all hold on to.

    The over 1.3 billion Chinese people are working hard to realize theChinese dream of national renewal, and the over one billion Africanpeople are committed to the African dream of gaining strength from unityand achieving development and rejuvenation. The Chinese and Africanpeople should enhance unity, cooperation, mutual support and assistance

    so as to make our dreams come true. We should also work with the restof the world to realize the dream of the world for enduring peace andcommon prosperity, and make new and even greater contribution to thenoble cause of peace and development of mankind.

    Asanteni sana!

    2 China- Tanzania Bilateral Cooperationon the rise

    In the last five years alone, C hina has extended to Tanzania grants, concessional and commercial loans

    amounting to US$ 1,942 million to finance projects in key sectors of the economy. Currently, Chinas

    projects in Tanzania cover various sectors including construction, ICT infrastructure, agriculture, mining,

    energy, medical, health and education.

    Following President Xis visit, the two governments have agreed to broaden and elevate this cooperation

    to bring sustainable development for their people.

    For almost half-a-century, China and Tanzania have cooperatedand supported each other on major fronts from political to economicinitiatives and this visit highlights the historical dimension ofChina-Tanzania relations.

    During President Xi state visit to Tanzania, the two heads of state

    witnessed the signing of several bilateral agreements that included

    the three year Economic and Technical Cooperation worth US$800m

    (Tsh1.8trn) aimed at implementing priority development projects.

    These funds have come at an opportune time when Tanzania is

    implementing its five year Development Plan (2011/12 2015/16) and

    will therefore be crucial in realizing the goals of the plan.

    2.1 Trade and Investment CooperationTanzania needs a market for its products. Tanzania needstechnology for its development. China is ready to provide allthat. What is wrong with that?Jakaya Kikwete, President of the United Republic of Tanzania.

    Opening up trade and participating in the global trading system

    is fundamental to shaping successful economies. Currently, Chinais Tanzanias largest trading partner. Bilateral trade between the

    two countries has grown at an average rate of 15.2 percent a year

    over the last few years, reaching US$ 2.47 billion in 2012.

    However, there is huge trade imbalance as China exports to

    Tanzania reached US$ 2.15 billion (2011) while Tanzania exports

    to China amounted to just over US$ 400 million (2010).

    The momentous signing of trade agreement, among other things,

    is aimed at addressing this huge trade imbalance. Under this

    agreement Tanzania stands to enjoy 95 percent tariffs reduction

    for the products sold in Chinese markets.

    Consequently, China has for the first time, opened its market for

    tobacco from Tanzania. This is a great achievement for Tanzania

    in general and tobacco farmers in particular given the fact that China is the largest market

    and consumer of tobacco products in the world.

    Tanzanias Minister for Finance Hon. William Mgimwaand Chinese Minister for Commerce Hon.Gao Hucheng

    sign an Agreement between the Government of theUnited Republic of Tanzania and the Government of the

    Peoples Republic of China concerning the Promotionand Reciprocal Protection of Investments.

    An agreement to strengthen cultural ties between China and Tanzania

    has been signed. China will strengthen cultural ties with Tanzania and

    expand the and expand the existing Cultural Exchange Programme forMutual Learning.

    In the last seven years, the number of Chinese people coming to

    Tanzania for tourism and business has increased from 4,441 in 2005

    to nearly 10,000 in 2012. In the same way, the number of Tanzanians

    visiting China increased from 4,000 in 2005 to over 7,000 in 2012.

    Under the current arrangement, Tanzania is looking to attract more

    tourists from China given the fact that Chinese spend more than US$

    100 billion a year travelling abroad (2012).

    7 China-Africa Policy

    These were among the questions on the minds of delegates at the Mwalimu

    Julius Nyerere International Convention Centre.

    More than 1000 government officials, Parliamentarian, members of the

    Diplomatic Corps and other invited dignitaries, sat, watched and listened as

    the Chinese head of state expounded on China-Africa relations and Chinas

    Africa policy.

    China is Africas biggest trading partner with total trade volume amounting

    to US$200 billion between the two sides (2012). Cumulatively, Chinas direct

    investment in Africa has surpassed US$15 billion. In the past two years

    alone, China extended loans to African countries, than the World Bank.

    On practical level, China has made basic goods more affordable to many

    African people, and many small and medium enterprises have flourished as

    a result. This is despite the growing concerns of Africas ability to compete

    with the Chinese industrial capability.

    China, according to President Xi, will intensify its efforts to expand relations

    with Africa without interfering in the internal affairs of African countries.

    Perhaps most importantly, from an African perspective, is the re-affirmation

    from the Chinese President that, China will continue to expand investment

    and financing cooperation within Africa, by maintaining the US$ 20 billion

    credit line through - The Forum on China Africa Cooperation (FOCAC)

    - to help African countries turn resource endowment into development

    strength and achieve independent and sustainable development.

    What kind of policy willChina adopt towards Africaunder President Xi Jinping?Will it be any differentfrom the previous Chineseleadership? Will China,under President Xi, be

    more involved in Africa orless involved?
