The GREAT British Week will showcase the strength and depth of the UK’s partnership with Tanzania and give people a flavour of all things British.
Speaking during the launch of the GREAT British Week, the British High Commissioner HE Sarah Cooke said:
As well as being a celebration of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth’s 92nd birthday, GREAT British Week is a celebration of the strength & depth of the partnership between the United Kingdom and Tanzania. We are working together to promote trade and investment; to reduce poverty; and to strengthen our people to people ties. I’m very proud that British companies have created nearly 300,000 jobs for Tanzanians; that UKAid has improved the quality of education for 2.3 million boys and girls; and has helped over 750,000 farmers get their crops to market.
I’m also very proud of the contribution that the British community makes in Tanzania, including the British investors, teachers and volunteers working here. I look forward to celebrating Her Majesty’s birthday and GREAT British Week with them.
