STATEMENT
BY HON. DR. MAHADHI JUMA MAALIM, (MP) DEPUTY MINISTER OF FOREIGN
AFFAIRS AND INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION OF THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA
ON THE OCCASION OF THE NATIONAL DAY OF THE ISLAMIC REPUBLIC OF IRAN DAR
ES SALAAM, 11TH FEBRUARY, 2015
Your Excellency Ambassador Mahdi, Aghajafari Ambassador of the Islamic Republic of Iran;
Your Excellency Juma Alfani Mpango, Ambassador of the Republic of Congo and Dean of the Diplomatic Corps;
Your Excellency Nasri Abujaish, Ambassador of the State of Palestine, and Dean of the Arab Group
Your Excellencies Ambassadors and High Commissioners;
Your Excellencies Heads of Diplomatic Missions;
Your Excellencies Heads of International Organizations;
Distinguished Guests;
Ladies and Gentlemen,
I feel very honoured to stand before you on this special evening when we mark the auspicious event of the 36th National
Day of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Indeed it is a particular
privilege to join you all this evening as I represent the Government and
the people of the United Republic of Tanzania to celebrate this
historic day in the history of your beautiful country Your Excellency.
Your Excellency,
Distinguished Guests,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
At
this juncture, allow me therefore, on behalf of the Government and the
People of the United Republic of Tanzania, to take this opportunity to
extend to Your Excellency, and through you to the Government and the
People of the Islamic Republic of Iran, our profound and heartfelt
congratulations on the occasion of celebrating the 36th Anniversary of the Islamic Revolution of your country.
Your Excellency,
As
we join you in this auspicious occasion, I wish to express my
satisfaction on the bilateral relations that so happily exist between
our two countries and our peoples despite being geographically separated by a long distance.
Such a good relationship can be traced back 1,000 years ago, when Iranians, then under the Shiraz Empire sailed to East Africa.
Tanzania
and Iran also have a connection of culture, where there is some
similarities of words in both Swahili as well as Persian languages. The
Swahili words, "chai" = tea, "achari" = pickle, "serikali" =
government, "diwani" = councillor, "sheha" = village councillor, are
some of the words also used in Persian bearing testimony to the older
connections with Persian merchants.
Your Excellency,
Distinguished Guests,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Our two countries already have a good framework for bilateral cooperation.
This
is the Joint Permanent Commission (JPC), to coordinate cooperation in
the trade, economic, technical and cultural spheres. We are all aware of
the inherent obstacles that have militated against the role initially
envisaged for the Joint Commission. It is our duty, to learn from our
experiences and work together to find ways to make (JPC) arrangement
more effective to strengthen our cooperation.
The
two countries maintain good cooperation in different sectors; these
include health, agriculture, culture, and from vocational to higher
education. The two countries are geared to expand and strengthen
cooperation in many areas of mutual interests of both countries.
At
the Government level there have been exchange of visits at the national
levels, to mention a few and recent ones include the then First Vice
President of the Islamic Republic of Iran who visited Tanzania in 2012
and the then Minister of Information, Youth, Culture and Sport Dr.
Emmanuel Nchimbi visited Iran in 2012. Last week Hon. Dr. Mohammad Javad
Zarif, Foreign Minister of Iran, was in our country for a two day
official visit.
At
global spheres, both countries have been cooperating in all matters of
common concerns in Non Alignment Movements (NAM) and United Nations
(UN). Allow
me at this occasion to reaffirm our commitment to strengthen the close
cooperation that exists between our two friendly countries and people.
Your Excellency,
In contemporary world, we all recognize the power and position of private sector.
Thus,
the existing friendly relations between our two countries are set to be
the corner stone for further expansion and deepening in trade and
investment between our private sectors. The just recent visit by Hon.
Dr. Zarif to Tanzania with heavy weight CEOs and other prospective
investors from Iran to Tanzania set a stepping stone for forging a close
economic cooperation between the two countries by increasing trade and
investments. Investors from Iran had fruitful discussions with their
counterparts organized by Tanzania Chambers of Commerce, Industries and
Agriculture (TCCIA).
Through
this spirit of enhancing strong cooperation, Tanzania invites more
investors from Iran to come to Tanzania to explore opportunities for
investment for mutual benefit of both countries. We can expand economic
relations to include areas like agribusiness, agro-processing, iron ore
and ore extraction and processing, banking and tourism. To walk the
talk, I am very happy to note that during the visit by Hon. Zarif,
Tanzania and Iran have signed Bilateral Agreement on the Promotion and
Protection of the Investments between the two Countries. On the same
vein, the third round of negotiations on Avoidance of Double Taxation
and Prevention from Fiscal Evasion (DTA) are underway.
Your Excellency,
Distinguished Guests,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your
Excellency, once again, it is an honour for me to share with you this
celebrations of your great country National Day, and I wish to reiterate
our sincere congratulations to Your Excellency and through you, to the
Government and brotherly people of the Islamic Republic of Iran, for
marking 36th anniversary of your great Islamic Revolution.
We wish you more success in the coming years and decades.
Thank you all for listening.
