The port is the major gateway to seven landlocked countries in East and Central Africa including the DRC. Ambassador Mpango said in Dar es Salaam yesterday that the volume of cargo transported by DRC through the port has gone up to 1.3 million tones in 2014 from only 200,000 tonnes in 2004.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe expect the tones of consignment to reach 3 million tones of consignment next year. The Dar es Salaam Port is very significant to us,\u201d said the outgoing DRC envoy after he had paid a courteous call on the Prime Minister, Mr Kassim Majaliwa, at his office on No. 2 Magogoni Street in the city.<\/p>\n

Mr Mpango, who was the Dean of the Diplomatic Corps in the country, had paid the visit to the country\u2019s Number Three to bid him farewell after finishing his term in office. He has served the post for 12 years in the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have witnessed the administration under presidents Benjamin Mkapa, Jakaya Kikwete and now John Magufuli. I am impressed with the measures the government has taken to fight corruption,\u201d observed the outgoing DRC envoy.<\/p>\n

Ambassador Mpango urged the two countries to strengthen bilateral ties for the people of both countries to enjoy of a number of opportunities available between them.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat I have learnt during my stay here is hardworking and humbling of public leaders. Civil servants are not proud of leadership but commitment to serve the people,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

In his remarks, Mr Majaliwa, expressed gratitude to the outgoing DRC ambassador, urging him to be a good ambassador in promoting Tanzania back home. \u201cI wish President Joseph Kabila and the people of DRC success in the preparations ahead of the forthcoming general election to be held next year,\u201d said the premier.<\/p>\n
