KUWAIT, March 23 (KUNA) -- Tanzanian Minister of Water and Irrigation Gerson Lwenge praised on Thursday the Kuwait Fund for Economic Development (KFAED) for its support to water and irrigation projects in his country.
This remark was made during a meeting between Kuwaiti Ambassador to Tanzania Jassem Al-Najem and the Tanzanian minister which marked the World Water Day, Kuwait Embassy in Tanzania said in a statement.
According to the statement, Lwenge said that despite the fact that his country had large water reserves, it lacked pure drinking water due to modest water infrastructures and networks.
The minister hoped that KFAED would continue support the development of his country, saying that the Kuwaiti fund was one of the major contributors to the welfare and progress of Tanzania. (end) nbj.mb
