A wreath-laying ceremony was held at the Chinese experts' cemetery in Dar es Salaam, where around 100 people braved a morning drizzle to pay tribute to 70 Chinese engineers, technicians, and workers who lost their lives while constructing the railway connecting Tanzania and Zambia and helping develop Africa.
Chinese Ambassador to Tanzania Chen Mingjian said more than 50,000 Chinese workers joined their Tanzanian and Zambian counterparts in building the railway, widely known as the "Uhuru Railway" and "Urafiki Railway," overcoming immense challenges through a spirit of solidarity and friendship.
She said the TAZARA spirit, characterized by mutual respect, equality, perseverance, and selfless internationalism, continues to serve as a driving force for China-Africa cooperation.
