Dar es Salaam — Tanzania and China will mark their 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations during the six-day official visit of the Chinese Vice- President Li Yuanchao to Tanzania which begins on June 21, an official said on Tuesday.
"This visit will further strengthen China-Tanzania traditional friendship and political trust," the Chinese Ambassador to Tanzania Lu Youqing told a press conference held in the capital Dar es Salaam.
"In the 1960s, our two countries fought shoulder to shoulder for the independence and liberation of southern African countries and has built a strong friendship ever since," he said.
Lu said during the 26th United Nations General Assembly on Oct. 25, 1971, Tanzania and other African countries extended great support to the People's Republic of China in regaining its legitimate seat in the UN.
"The visit by Vice-President Li Yuanchao this time will surely enhance the political trust and move forward the China-Tanzania comprehensive partnership of mutual benefit and win-win cooperation," said the Chinese envoy.
He said during the visit, Vice-President Li will hold bilateral talks with Tanzanian President Jakaya Kikwete and other top Tanzanian officials.
