Tanzania-Saudi Youth Dialogue Forum participants have agreed to
deliver special messages on issues of biodiversity conservation to both
the President of the United Republic of Tanzania H.E Jakaya Kikwete and
King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al Saud of Saudi Arabia.
This was said recently during the closing ceremony of the
Tanzania-Saudi Youth Forum, which was officiated by the Tanzanian
Minister for Natural Resources and Tourism Honorable Lazaro Nyalandu.
The letters from Bilateral Youth Group was read during the
closing ceremony by Ms Rayan Hejles-Fir from Saudi Arabia and her
Tanzanian counterpart, Hans Cosmas-Ngoteya, while another dispatch from
the ‘Multilateral Youth Group was read by Ms Zainab Abdallah from
Tanzania and Ms Haifa Al Bassam from Saudia.
The first ever two-state Youth Dialogue Forum on matters of
biodiversity was hosted by the Tanzania National Parks (TANAPA) under
the main theme of "Construction and implementation of the regulatory
framework for biodiversity conservation."
“The youth also toured Arusha, Tarangire and Serengeti
National Parks, the Ngorongoro Conservation Area Authority, the
Tanzania Wildlife Research Institute and Mweka College of Wildlife,
enjoying the opportunity of interacting and discussing the future of
biodiversity conservation in the two countries,’’ stated Allan Kijazi,
the Director General for TANAPA.
Kijazi lauded Saudi-Arabia for selecting Tanzania to be the
first country in hosting the forum assuring that positive outcomes
should be expected from the dialogues, adding that TANAPA intends to
organize similar dialogues with other countries in future.
Kijazi said TANAPA being the custodian of the country's 16
National Parks, felt proud to host the international dialogue and used
the occasion to request the Saudi government to assist Tanzania in the
war against poaching.
The Minister for Natural resources and Tourism Mr
Lazaro Nyalandu said the Saudi team which also placed high priority on
religion and spiritual development of the mind, must have felt at home
in the well-conserved parts of Tanzania maintaining their original
profiles since creation.
The Saudi Princess Haifa Bint Abdul Aziz who visited the
country last month and happens to be the coordinator of the forum, said
the forum was taking place for the first time in Africa and Tanzania
was chosen to host it due to its historical background and commitment
to protecting wildlife and natural resources supported by peace and
security prevailing in the country.
