High Commissioner of the United Republic of Tanzania in Ottawa, Canada
It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the official website of the High Commission of the United Republic of Tanzania in the Canada. This website is intended to serve as a continuous source of information on Tanzania as a country of unfolding and unlimited opportunities for business, investment, tourism and for those interested in Tanzania in general.
Tanzania is a peaceful and stable country and a home to the world renowned tourism destinations including Mount Kilimanjaro-the roof of Africa, exotic Zanzibar Island, and more than sixteen (16) wildlife-rich national parks including Serengeti, the Ngorongoro Crater, Selous and many more. Indeed Tanzania is blessed with abundant natural resources and very attractive lakes and rivers. Apart from wealth in wildlife land, agriculture and forestry, Tanzania is also very rich in minerals such as tanzanite, diamond, gold, iron, coal, nickel, uranium, oil and natural gas.
The relations between Tanzania and Canada are traditionally friendly, and have a long history and common history. Together with my colleagues at the High Commission, our main agenda is to strengthen further the existing relationship as well as to promote the Tanzania - Canada comprehensive and cooperative partnership to grow stronger and faster through existing mechanisms. The High Commission remain fully committed to construct the comprehensive cooperative partnership featuring mutual benefit and win-win outcome, and to strengthen Tanzania - Canada relationship.
It is my anticipated hope that this website offers you a window of opportunity to better understand our country, Tanzania, famously referred to as “THE LAND OF KILIMANJARO, ZANZIBAR AND THE SERENGETI”.
You are most welcome to visit Tanzania,
H.E. Joseph Edward Sokoine
