Speaking about the investment, Binaya Pradhan, High Commissioner of India to Tanzania, noted that “I cannot give the exact deadline but the construction is ongoing and will be completed in two or three years’ time.” The diplomat said this yesterday during the inaugural of a two-day International Conference on India-Tanzania Relations: An Overview, among other things.

Tanzania’s minister for Foreign Affairs and East African Cooperation Liberata Mulamula said the two countries have a great history of cooperation and she expects the relationship to continue for a longer period.
