Prime Minister Mr. Majaliwa stated that the friendship between China and Tanzania was jointly established by the founding head of Tanzania, Julius Kambarage Nyerere, and Chairman Mao Zedong. China and Tanzania have been long-term friendly strategic partners, and Tanzania welcomes Chinese investors to invest and prosper.
