1 April 2014 - Meeting the President of Tanzania

It was a great honour for me to be invited to a reception at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office to meet H E Dr Jakaya Kikwete the President of Tanzania.  Some 200 people who have varying interest in Tanzania were hosted by the Foreign Office and offered delicious canapĂ©s and excellent wine throughout the evening.  A representative of the British Tanzanian Society was the first to address the gathering, followed by Lord Mandelson and then the President spoke. The main topic was the growing partnership between the UK and Tanzania offering significant opportunities for British businesses in the energy sector and beyond as Tanzania has the potential to become a major new global gas supplier. I was privileged to speak with President Kikwete and also had many interesting conversations with other guests with the opportunity to speak about 'SEEDS'.
