Ambassador Escure described the award as recognition of the contribution of the Aga Khan Development network (AKDN) in the country which to a great extent has helped promote the French language in local schools in the country. He said the embassy has been working closely with the network in various projects such as the rehabilitation of the Aga Khan hospital in Dar es Salaam.
Balozi Escure aliitaja tuzo hiyo kuwa ni kutambua mchango wa mtandao wa Aga Khan Development (AKDN) nchini ambao kwa kiasi kikubwa umesaidia kukuza lugha ya Kifaransa katika shule za hapa nchini. Alisema ubalozi umekuwa ukifanya kazi kwa karibu na mtandao huo katika miradi mbalimbali ikiwa ni ukarabati wa hospitali ya Aga Khan ya jijini Dar es Salaam.
