Sights and Scenes of Mwanza City

Visiting the City of Mwanza

The legendary city of Mwanza received us well and displayed its glamorous beauty.  The city is full of breathtaking sites that seem to impress you no matter how many times you view them. As the second biggest city after Dar es Salaam with a populace of 2.773 million people, Mwanza or the "Rock City" has splendid views and opportunities for Business and tourism. The delightful views of Lake Victoria and the new Saa Nane National parks offer a sumptuous glimpse to visitors. I will definitely return to this wonderful city of Tanzania

The Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting 2015, also known as CHOGM 2015, 24th meeting of the Heads of Government of the Commonwealth Countries
 was held in the beautiful Island of Valletta in Malta. Sri Lankan President Maithripala Sirisena handed the position of Commonwealth Chair-in-Office to Maltese Prime Minister Dr. Joseph Muscat at the meeting.

CHOGM is held every two years and is the Commonwealth's highest consultative and policy making body. The Commonwealth is an institution whose strength lies in its diversity. The Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting brings together leaders of an immensely diverse yet cohesive grouping of 53 countries representing one third of humanity.

When Commonwealth leaders gather, innovative solutions are found to today's global challenges for the benefit of all, particularly the vulnerable and marginalised. At the Malta CHOGM the wider world will see the Commonwealth in action, as a great global good. Tanzania has been a member of Commonwealth since 1961.
