Embargo 20th October 2017
On 20th October 2017, Government of Finland is celebrating 100 years of independence. The Embassy of Finland in Tanzania will commemorate this event by promoting tree planting in Tanzania, and Ambassador Pekka Hukka will officiate this event by planting a tree in his residence along Kenyatta road at Masaki. The event will take place from 9 am and will last for two hours.
In recent years, the Embassy has been holding some events here in Tanzania that showcase the Government of Finland's activities in Tanzania and areas which Finland supports as part of its foreign development policy. Thus this year's commemoration marks a milestone of cooperation between Finland and Tanzania.
