DENMARK.

Your Excellency,

It is with great pleasure that on behalf of the Government and people of the United Republic of Tanzania and indeed on my own behalf, I take this opportunity to convey to you and through you to the Government and people of the Kingdom of Denmark, warm greetings and congratulations upon your election as the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Denmark on 15th September, 2011.

Your election has not only created a history of becoming Denmark’s first woman Prime Minister but also has raised new hope and is a significant step for gender equality. As you continue discharging the noble duties bestowed upon you, I would like to assure Your Excellency of my Government’s commitment in strengthening bilateral relations that exist between our two countries and peoples.

Please accept, Your Excellency, my best wishes for your personal good health and peace and prosperity for the people of the Kingdom of Denmark”.
