HIS Majesty King Charles III of the United Kingdom cordially received Tanzanian Ambassador Mbelwa Kairuki at a royal audience held in Buckingham Palace.
The 75-year-old monarch, who is undergoing treatment for cancer, first met Mbelwa Kairuki at Buckingham Palace for the formal ceremony welcoming Tanzania’s top diplomat based in the UK.
High commissioners and ambassadors based in London have a customary audience with the monarch shortly after taking up their role.
The King has postponed all public-facing engagements while he continues his treatment for an undisclosed form of cancer, but he has been carrying out audiences and desk duties.
In August last year, President Samia Suluhu Hassan transferred Ambassador Kairuki to London, replacing Dr Asha Migiro, whose tenure came to an end.
Two months later, following Kairuki's appointment, he presented copies of his credentials to Victoria Busby, the Head of Protocol at the Foreign, Commonwealth, and Development Office, in London.
