Translated quotes from Dotto Biteko

1. Last year we had a big conference held from 21 to 23 February and many countries participated. This year's meeting is a continuation of the same kind which is expected to take place from 21 to 23 February and the official guest of the opening day will be the Vice President Hon. Samia Suluhu Hassan. Our theme for this year is "Mining Sector for Sustainable Economy and Sustainable Development"

2. "This conference will announce to the world that Tanzania has a good investment climate and the presence of various minerals. We want the world to know what Tanzania has in common and give them the assurance that our country is a safe and proper place to invest.

3. In addition to the main purpose of announcing investment opportunities this conference will also help attract more investors in the mining sector. This Conference will also help to get the views of miners and other stakeholders on how to further improve the management of the Mining Sector.

4. At this year's conference we plan to present various awards to our stakeholders who have done well in enforcing the laws governing the mining sector, for example recognising a good taxpayer in the mining sector, a stakeholder in charge of mining responsibility in the community, and recognising a woman who has participated and succeeded in mining.
