Meanwhile President Kikwete has thanked Mr Jiang for choosing to invest in the country and assured the investor that there was a potential market for the quality education supplies; especially the laboratory apparatuses.

The president said that it was the right time for the investor to be in the country when the government has expanded the secondary school education for the last three years , and this creates a potential market for the science supplies.
