Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao said here Thursday that China will adopt more
preferential measures to increase imports from Tanzania.
Wen said China
will give more preferential treatment to imports from Tanzania in terms of
import subsides and tariff reductions.
Wen made the remarks during his
talks with Tanzanian President Jakaya Mrisho Kikwete Thursday afternoon. Wen is
on an official visit to Tanzania, which is the sixth leg of his seven-nation
Africa trip.
After the talks, Wen and Kikwete attended the signing
ceremony of a series of agreements between the two countries, including the
agreement of economic and technological cooperation.
During the talks,
Wen said the Chinese government will encourage Chinese companies to make more
investment in Tanzania and step up cooperation with Tanzania in such fields as
infrastructures, resources development, agriculture and telecommunications.
China will also continue to provide assistance to Tanzania for its
social and economic development, Wen said. China is ready to help Tanzania to
build a showcase farming center and an anti- malaria demonstration center. China
will explore the possibility of setting up a joint-venture factory of
anti-malaria drugs with Tanzania.
Wen said China and Tanzania are
all-weather friends. He expressed the wish that the two countries will further
strengthen cooperation and communication on international affairs.
Wen
also called for closer political ties and wider scope of bilateral cooperation
in such fields as culture, education and tourism.
