Fundraising Dinner by the Tanzania-India Friendship Association

"Both our countries are characterized by social diversities that we have strived to use as assets for the collective development of our respective nations. The ethnic, religious and social differences found in our societies are providing a rich mosaic of culture and traditions that are being harnessed for the benefit of the people as a whole. The fact that among the people of Tanzania, there is a sizeable population that traces its historical origins to India makes the social bond between our two countries to be even more profound." - Dr. Salim, July 19, 2002
