Speaking on Thursday during the inauguration ceremony, the Minister for Foreign Affairs and East African Cooperation Dr Stergomena Tax said the opening of the embassy in Indonesia will strengthen the relationship especially in the economic sector.
“Indonesia has made progress in the economy sector, its cooperation with Tanzania will provide an opportunity for the country to progress as well and ensure that agricultural products and minerals are added value and sold in international markets and enable the country to grow its economy,” she said.
The Minister also acknowledged the supportive role played by the Indonesia government to the embassy since it was established in 2022.
