Lt Gen DS Rana is scheduled to visit the High Commission of India in Dar Es Salaam to inaugurate its newly established Defence Wing. As a goodwill gesture to enhance military cooperation, he will present the Tanzanian People’s Defence Force (TPDF) with Indian-manufactured Bulletproof Jackets. The DG DIA will also inaugurate the Library at Command and Staff College in Arusha and lay the foundation for a gymnasium. The government of India is assisting with the construction of the gymnasium.
The bond between India and Tanzania is not just a testament to trust and mutual respect, but also a platform for effective collaboration and support to enhance their respective capabilities. The upcoming visit of the Indian Military delegation is poised to not only reinforce but also deepen the Strategic Partnership between the two nations, bringing mutual benefits and shared interests to the forefront.
