China and Zanzibar have a special traditional friendship. China has long provided ample non-reimbursable assistance to Zanzibar, including dispatching medical teams, building infrastructure, training personnel, and helping the prevention and control of infectious diseases such as malaria, schistosomiasis and neoconiosis, which have contributed to the economic and social development and people’s better lives in Zanzibar. This Seminar aims to promote exchanges and cooperation between China and Zanzibar in the field of blue economy development, and to open a new window of opportunity for China and Zanzibar to achieve complementary advantages and common development and to enhance the welfare of the peoples.

Ms. He Ying said that China values the friendship and cooperation with  Zanzibar and is willing to work closely with Zanzibar and support each  other to further exchange and cooperation in many fields. We hope that  the participating officials will use the Seminar as a platform to share  their advanced experience in the development of blue economy, discuss  the bottlenecks and problems they encounter in their respective fields,  and jointly cope with the new environment and challenges.

Dr. Aboud S Jumbe (Ministry of Blue Economy and Fisheries, Zanzibar,  Tanzania, and the participant representative) said that Zanzibar  appreciates China’s support for the development of blue economy in  Zanzibar through innovation, resources and policy. Zanzibar promises to  further cooperate with China to address the challenges and opportunities  of the blue economy. It is believed that after this Seminar, both sides  will be able to apply more policy, methods and knowledge to develop the  blue economy.
