He said youth from Africa and China will exchange ideas and chart out ways of advancing the relationship between African parties and the Communist Party of China.
“This forum also plays a significant role in enhancing mutual understanding and friendship between Chinese, Tanzania people and the rest of the continent,” he said adding that it will address the biggest challenge that the continent is facing of promoting industrialization.
Mr Masele mentioned some of the agendas to be discussed in the forum to include agriculture, finance and investment, energy and minerals, trade and logistics as well as tourism.
He said the ruling party, CCM, has gone a step forward in organizing an international forum that will attract investors as a way of giving exposure to local entrepreneurs.
He urged youth entrepreneurs to take advantage of the forum, it brings together talented people, and offers suggestions and recommendations on enhancing China-Africa practical cooperation.
The Chinese ambassador to Tanzania, Dr Lu Youqing, said China has chosen Tanzania as its industrialisation destination where the rest in the continent will come to borrow a leaf.
“We understand that China is one of the biggest investors in Africa and there is a lot of trade that is done between the two continents. Tanzania is among the African countries that China has invested a lot and so using this forum we expect our trade relations to grow even beyond,” he said.
