The minister made the remarks during a recent meeting with Chinese business representatives in Dar es Salaam, according to verified reports from the Tanzanian government and state media.

Kapinga highlighted the long-standing bilateral relations between Tanzania and China, which have deepened significantly in recent years through infrastructure projects and trade agreements.
