<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Highlighting the importance of the mission, on behalf of the UN System in Tanzania, the UN Resident Coordinator, Mr. Alvaro Rodriguez, stated that the Nordic countries have been key partners to the UN in development and humanitarian activities, and this has allowed the UN to be a partner of the United Republic of Tanzania in addressing pressing national priorities. He added that their visit to Tanzania comes at the right time when the UN and the Government have developed their five-year plans for eradicating poverty, addressing climate change and ensuring sustainable development. Mr. Rodriguez added, "We in the UN are very pleased with the Nordic countries' support and their commitment in ensuring no one is left behind when it comes to development and humanitarian assistance".</span></div>
