**On the Occasion of the United Republic of Tanzania’s Union Day**  

WASHINGTON, April 24, 2015/African Press Organization (APO)/ — Press Statement  

John Kerry  

Secretary of State  

Washington, DC  

April 24, 2015  

On behalf of President Obama and the people of the United States, I congratulate the people of Tanzania as you celebrate the 51st anniversary of the union between Tanganyika and Zanzibar.  

Deep bonds of friendship unite the people of the United States and the people of Tanzania. The first class of Peace Corps volunteers traveled to your country to build roads connecting your cities. And soon after, President John F. Kennedy and Prime Minister Julius Nyerere shook hands in Washington, where both men reaffirmed our commitment to equality and opportunity for all our citizens.  

Today, Tanzania is a model in the region of good governance, democratic ideals, and individual freedoms. We remain committed to working with you to build on your achievements in health care, access to electricity, gender equality, and in safeguarding Tanzania’s rich natural heritage for generations to come.  

As Tanzanians celebrate Union Day at home and abroad, I wish you peace and prosperity in the year ahead.
