British High Commissioner, Dianna Melrose
The machines and equipment will assist in broadening aviation security, specifically detection capability at Tanzanian airports.
According to a press release unveiled to the media yesterday, the British envoy will also present certificates to the Tanzanian Airports Authority (TAA) staff who have successfully participated in the UK sponsored explosive trace detection training courses at the Julius Nyerere International Airport in Dar es Salaam.
She said terrorism is a global issue and the British government is keen to maintain its close working relationship with Tanzania in order to strengthen the existing aviation security regime and work together to tackle terrorist threats.
The UK Department for Transport (DfT) has regional staff based in East Africa who will be working to maintain the close and productive working relationship with the TAA and the Tanzanian Civil Aviation Authority.
