We invite the Turkish government and Turkish energy organizations to take part in the project,\u201d Kombo told Anadolu.<\/p>\n<p>Kombo said that in line with the decisions made at the Mission 300 Africa Energy Summit organized in cooperation with African countries, the World Bank and the African Development Bank (AfDB), 300 million people across the continent will gain access to electricity within five years.<\/p>\n<p>The summit was held in Dar es Salaam from Jan. 27-28.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The energy summit was one of the most highly attended meetings among summits held across Africa to date. Nearly 20 heads of state and a high number of ministers participated. This is extremely important for the continent. It shows that heads of state are coming together on common issues,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Highlighting that millions of people across Africa still lack electricity, Kombo said the summit resulted in joint decisions to ensure the continent gains access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy by 2030.<\/p>\n<p>He also emphasized the diplomatic significance of the gathering for his country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis summit is an important indicator of how our diplomacy is evolving and gaining recognition,\u201d he said. \u201cThese meetings are proof that our diplomatic efforts are bearing fruit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>Tu\u0308rkiye\u2019s role in renewable energy<\/b><\/p>\n<p>East Africa expert Fatih Ilhan, who attended the summit, said the event saw the participation of not only world leaders but also numerous international media organizations and energy companies.<\/p>\n<p>Ilhan noted that special awards were given to projects focused on recycling plastic waste and their contributions to energy.<\/p>\n<p>He said that Turkish firms could implement smart villages with solar energy systems, wind turbines, or various recyclable energy projects.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our companies could share their expertise in factory filtration, carbon emissions and environmentally friendly energy solutions with African stakeholders,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Ilhan also stressed that Tu\u0308rkiye\u2019s experience in electricity production and leadership in renewable energy serve as examples for African countries.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs one of the ambitious countries in the region, transferring our experience in energy production to Africa may be more feasible and faster compared to many other countries. Our social, cultural, economic and diplomatic ties are continuously improving,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Noting that the visit of Tanzanian President Samia Suluhu Hassan to Tu\u0308rkiye last year gave momentum to relations between the two countries, he said: \u201cThrough mutual agreements, dialogue between businesspeople increased. For companies operating in the energy sector, Tanzania is opening its doors with this summit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Tanzania<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Tanzania.
