Looking a bit starstruck here as I greet African music star @diamondplatnumz arriving at our #PlatinumJubileeCelebration.
Diamond will be performing in the UK this year at the #celebratingafrica concert at Wembley Arena on 27 August.

- From my garden in Dar es Salaam I invite all our Tanzanian friends across the country to join me in wishing England well tonight. Mpira unarudi nyumbani!
- Mechi muhimu kwa Tanzania. Ninawatakieni ushindi. Tuko pamoja! 🇬🇧🇹🇿🌍 Utaangalia mchezo wa leo dhidi ya Horoya AC ukiwa wapi? #TotalEnergiesCAFCL #TunaitakaRoboFainali #WenyeNchi #NguvuMoja
- To all our friends in Tanzania I say thank you for your messages of condolence. Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II was devoted to public service and a figure of unparalleled dignity. She was the rock on which modern Britain was built. May she rest in peace. God save the King.
- Highlight of my week: visiting @SimbaSC_EN and @YoungAfricansEN football clubs in Dar es Salaam. Asanteni sana to both - two great 🇹🇿 clubs & rivals. Now I’m on my way to watch them play in the big local derby - wearing the 🇹🇿 national strip, as a good diplomat should!
- I am concerned by this morning’s reports from Zanzibar of violence associated with the elections. I appeal to all involved in the elections to act with restraint and integrity to ensure the will of the people can be expressed peacefully at the ballot box.
- Thank you to @TunduALissu for dropping by for lunch. Helpful to hear his views on 🇹🇿constitutional & electoral reform, and other topics of ongoing importance in the political & economic life of 🇹🇿. I also learned he supports @ManUtd - so pole Mheshimiwa for the FA cup result!
- Steps like this take strength and courage. Friends of Tanzania everywhere will be cheering. Hongera sana. 👏👏Footage of the moment President Samia, for the very first time, met and held brief talks with opposition leader Tundu Lissu in Brussels, Belgium.
00:00 - Back in 🇹🇿 after my summer break & looking forward to further strengthening 🇬🇧🇹🇿 relations. Among my priorities: COP26 #climatecrisis; COVID-19; trade & investment; education cooperation; & following the Freeman Mbowe case #ruleoflaw
- Kwa niaba ya serikali ya Uingereza nawatakia Raisi @SuluhuSamia na serikali yake na marafiki na washirika wetu wote nchini Tanzania Heri ya Mwaka Mpya. Mungu ibariki Tanzania na urafiki wa nchi zetu mbili mwaka 2022.
- Hongera nyingi sana Mheshimiwa Balozi Liberata Mulamula. I look forward to meeting you in your new role as Tanzania's Minister of Foreign Affairs and East African Cooperation.Rais Samia Suluhu amemteua Balozi Liberata Mulamula kuwa Waziri wa Mambo ya Nje. #MwananchiUpdates
