His Excellency Ambassador Lazaro Nyalandu, Ambassador and Advisor to the President of the United Republic of Tanzania on Diplomatic Affairs, delivers a powerful address.
In his powerful remarks, Ambassador Nyalandu declares the safety of children as a 'God-given responsibility' and a noble duty by which our very humanity is measured. He speaks passionately about the universal mandate to protect and love the most vulnerable, placing child protection at the forefront of global spiritual diplomacy.
Addressing a grave breach of this trust, the Ambassador highlights the troubling Jakub Jahl case, noting the alleged misappropriation of funds by the Czech national and alleged abuse against children in an orphanage in Moshi, near Mount Kilimanjaro, and emphasizes the importance of accountability and justice.
This mission, he notes, is an extension of Tanzania’s 'open-arm policy' which is a legacy of peace and hospitality under the leadership of President Samia Suluhu Hassan, whose administration stands tall in its commitment to shielding children from harm and upholding their rights across the African continent.
He also highlights Tanzania’s longstanding legacy of peace, hospitality, and protection for refugees.
This powerful message reinforces the conference’s themes of unity, moral leadership, global cooperation, and protection of human dignity. It reflects Ambassador Nyalandu’s deep commitment to humanitarian duty and interfaith dialogue, calling for global unity in safeguarding children and upholding faith-based values across nations.
