Dar es salaam, Tanzania | Xinhua | The United Nations refugee agency commended Tanzania for its unwavering support in hosting refugees, a statement has said.

The statement released on Friday by the Ministry of Finance and Planning said the praise was given by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) Country Representative for Tanzania, Mahoua Parums, when she held talks with the Minister of Finance and Planning, Mwigulu Nchemba, in Dar es Salaam.

Parums said Tanzania is currently hosting about 162,000 refugees who have fled political conflicts in their countries.

She also commended Tanzania for continuing nurturing peace and harmony, the factors that she said attract investors to invest in the east African nation.
