Subject: Diplomatic Outreach

Dear Minister Dalavi,

On behalf of the United Republic of Tanzania, I would like to extend our warm congratulations to the Government of the Indian Socialist Republic on your successful formation of your new administration.

Tanzania and India share a history shaped by colonialism, anti-imperialist solidarity and championing democratic and socialist values in a region that previously lacked them.

Strengthening our shared interests and as neighbours on the Indian Ocean, I would like to take this opportunity to invite you, or your chosen representative, to Dodoma to engage in bilateral discussions. We would like to discuss the areas of trade, immigration, defence and security cooperation.

I look forward to strengthening Tanzanian-Indian cooperation.

Yours Sincerely,

Jata Azikiwe

Director for South Asian Affairs
United Republic of Tanzania

From: Sumati Dalavi, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Indian Socialist Republic
Subject: RE: Diplomatic Outreach

Dear Director Azikiwe,

Thank you for your kind words, the transition in to office was not easy and left with a lot of pieces to pick up from the previous administration. However, we intend to right all wrongs and create a better nation for our people. The sentiments from your nation resonated with us and due to our two nations similar histories, the sentiments were more meaningful than most others would see.

Opening diplomatic dialogue between our nations, we feel would be mutually beneficial and would like to accept your invitation to visit Dodoma and discuss this further. It would be myself attending and I am available at your earliest convenience.

I sincerely look forward to meeting you, sampling your hospitality and learning more of your nation's rich culture.

Khushhaali ki kaamna,
Sincerely,

Sumati Dalavi BA
Minister of Foreign Affairs
