He encouraged Turkish businesspeople to explore investment possibilities in Tanzania. Gurbuz said having good relations with Tanzania would give them a chance to establish many projects and businesses, which would be an advantage to Tanzanians themselves. We are planning to establish the Turkish university in Tanzania and it will be of significant importance to students because we will be providing scholarships for the students, who failed to pay fees, he noted. The Turkish government is also providing an increased number of scholarships to Tanzanian students to study in Turkey (high school, university, masters, PhD). He said 35 to 45 scholarships were offered to students in high schools and universities in Tanzania every year.
