Hon. Ambassador Mahmoud Thabit Kombo, Tanzania’s Minister for Foreign Affairs and East African Cooperation, represented Her Excellency Dr Samia Suluhu Hassan, President of the United Republic of Tanzania, at the Commonwealth Leaders and CEO Summit in Antigua and Barbuda. On the sidelines of the summit, Minister Kombo met with His Majesty King Charles III; the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, the Rt Hon. Andy Burnham MP; the Prime Minister of Antigua and Barbuda, Hon. Gaston Browne; and the country’s Governor-General, His Excellency Sir Rodney Williams. Held as part of the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM), the summit brought together government and business leaders to explore opportunities to mobilise investment, strengthen economic resilience and create jobs across the Commonwealth. Discussions focused on infrastructure, renewable energy, agriculture and climate action. Participants emphasised practical partnerships between governments and investors, supported by greater participation from businesses across Commonwealth member states. Tanzania’s participation advanced its economic diplomacy by strengthening international partnerships and promoting investment for shared prosperity. The summit also provided a platform to highlight the private sector’s central role in delivering Tanzania’s Vision 2050.

Tarehe 24 Septemba 1973 Mkutano Mkuu wa 16 wa TANU uliamua Makao Makuu ya Tanzania yahamishiwe Dodoma. Tangu wakati huo, kila awamu ya uongozi imeendeleza azimio hilo, nami leo nimeungana na Rais wa Jamhuri ya Angola, Mheshimiwa João Lourenço, kuzindua majengo ya ofisi za Wizara na Taasisi za Serikali pamoja na barabara za lami katika Mji wa Serikali Mtumba, Dodoma. Ninawashukuru Marais wote walionitangulia kwa kuendeleza maono ya Baba wa Taifa. Pia, nawapongeza viongozi, watendaji wa serikali na sekta binafsi, makandarasi na wananchi wote walioshiriki katika kutekeleza mradi huu. Kazi yenu ni ya thamani na itaenziwa katika historia ya nchi yetu. Mji huu uliojengwa kwa fedha za ndani umebuniwa kuwa kitovu cha shughuli za Serikali, huduma kwa wananchi, diplomasia na shughuli za kiuchumi na kijamii. Ni wajibu wetu kuhakikisha uwekezaji huu unaleta tija kwa kuwahudumia wananchi kwa heshima, weledi na ufanisi. Hata hivyo, huduma ziwafuate wananchi walipo kupitia mifumo ya Teknolojia ya Habari na Mawasiliano (TEHAMA), badala ya kuwalazimu kufika Dodoma kuzifuata. Ili kuendeleza ustawi wa Mji huu na Makao Makuu kwa ujumla, nimetoa maelekezo yafuatayo: 1. Majengo, miundombinu na mazingira yatunzwe na kuwa safi wakati wote. 2. Mamlaka husika zisimamie kikamilifu utekelezaji wa Mpango Mkuu wa Uendelezaji wa Jiji la Dodoma wa mwaka 2019–2039. 3. Wizara zinazohusika na huduma za kijamii zihakikishe huduma hizo zinapatikana kikamilifu. 4. Ofisi ya Rais, Mipango na Uwekezaji iendelee kuhamasisha na kuvutia uwekezaji ili kuunga mkono maendeleo ya Jiji la Dodoma.
