Tanzania lauds South Korea technical aid

The Government has urged Tanzanians who have trained in South Korea to utilize skills they have acquired for the benefit of the country.

This was said by the director of human resources in the President's Office (Public Service Management), Dr Faisal Issa, during KOICA Alumni Association of Tanzania (KAAT) annual general meeting recently.

Dr Issa said the Government appreciates Korean assistance, especially in the field of human resources development.

"The Government appreciates the assistance given by the Korean government especially in human resources development and of training skills. I urge our experts to utilise skills they acquired," he said.

Addressing the meeting, ambassador of the Republic of Korea to Tanzania, Mr Younghoon Kim, told KAAT members to share experiences and expertise acquired during their stay in Korea.

The meeting that was organised by Korean International Cooperation Agency (KOICA), was attended by more than 50 participants drawn from different professions such as economists, medical doctors, nurses, lawyers, lecturers, engineers and staticians.

KAAT is a non-profit association formed by Tanzanians who studied in the Republic of Korea under KOICA sponsorship.

According to KOICA deputy resident representative in Tanzania, Ms Shin Soyeon, through the training programme,
the agency has enabled about 400 Tanzanians to undergo various courses in Korea. She said the agency is also responsible for Korea's grant aid programmes.
