On Sunday 13th of July 2014, as Tanzania's Ambassador to Ireland, I had the privilege to attend the Irish National Day of Commemoration. This is a day when the Irish nation remembers all those Irishmen and Irishwomen who died in past wars or on service with the United Nations. The Solemn ceremony is attended by the President, The Taoiseach (PM), members of Government & Diplomatic corps and other senior representatives.
Its a ceremony I enjoy attended every years as Ireland has a long history of struggling for its Independence and justice in the world. Moreover Ireland is a great friend to Tanzania and we have long historic links. Mwalimu Nyerere is well respected in Dublin. Its a relation that we need to deepen and cherish.
