Nahodha said that Tanzania's friendship with China is its valuable wealth. The Tanzanian side wishes that China will obtain greater development in the building of various causes, and is grateful to the Chinese military for its support and assistance to the Tanzanian military. It is hoped that this visit will further consolidate the friendly and cooperative relations between the two militaries, and meanwhile, the Tanzanian military will learn from the Chinese military to enhance its ability of self-development.
