Students at a Turkish regional studies center are now learning Kiswahili. The BAM Center in Ankara runs the program. A group from the center met with Tanzania's Ambassador to Türkiye, Iddi Seif Bakari. They explained that the training prepares professionals with language skills for East African work. This helps with communication and understanding the region's culture and history. The delegation thanked the embassy for providing a teacher and learning materials. Dr. Hursit Dingil led the group.
Ambassador Bakari praised the center for adding Kiswahili to its courses. He said his embassy will keep pushing the language's growth in Türkiye as part of making it more global. He promised ongoing cooperation to expand the training for more students. Bakari noted the program also strengthens historical ties between the two nations, acting as a cultural bridge. The BAM Center is the second institution in the country to offer such classes under the embassy's oversight, joining another location in Istanbul.
