"Tanzania ina Rada moja tu iliyonunuliwa mwaka 2002 na ina uwezo wa kuhudumia anga kwa asilimia 25 tu lakini kukamilika kwa Rada hizi kutawezesha anga lote la Tanzania kuhudumiwa. Hivi sasa Tanzania inapoteza takribani Bilioni 1.2 ya tozo kwa mwaka baada ya Shirika la Usalama wa Anga Duniani (ICAO) kukasimu sehemu ya anga la Tanzania kwa Kenya, baada ya mradi huu kukamilika tutarejeshewa sehemu hiyo," said Magufuli.

Their meeting comes days after Diamond settled his Differences with Magufuli’s government.
