Gul visit Tanzania

President Abdullah Gul visited Dar as Salaam, Tanzania over the weekend as part of a four-day African tour which included Kenya. Gul was greeted by his Tanzanian counterpart Jakaya Mrisho Kikwete. He also met with Tanzanians who have studied in Turkey, saying, "The more you contribute to Tanzania's development, the prouder we'll be of you." Urging them not to forget how to speak Turkish, Gul also asked them to come back to Turkey to visit their Turkish friends. Afterwards, he also told a Turkish-Tanzanian Business Forum, "Bilateral relations will be strengthened by Turkey opening an embassy in Tanzania."
