Former Tanzanian Ambassador to Japan, H.E. Elly E.E. Mtango has been honoured at a Conferment Ceremony held recently. The Order of the Rising Sun, Gold and Silver Star were conferred on him.
Ambassador Mtango served as Tanzanian Ambassador to Japan for nine years and has made a great contribution to promoting Tanzania in Japan and to advancing mutual understanding between the two countries. In addition, he took an initiative in the publication of the Swahili translation of the book titled “A Passion for Success,” written by Mr. Kazuo Inamori, the founder of Japanese electronics company “Kyocera,” that promoted understanding of Japan in Tanzania.
At the conferment ceremony, Ambassador Misawa made congratulatory remarks and handed the decoration and medal to Ambassador Mtango, which was followed by a remark by Hon. Ambassador Mbarouk Nassoro Mbarouk, Deputy Minister for Foreign Affairs and East African Cooperation of Tanzania, as well as a speech by Ambassador Mtango.
