President George W. Bush and President Jakaya Kikwete of Tanzania, shake hands after signing the $698 million Millennium Challenge Compact Sunday, Feb. 17, 2008, in Dar es Salaam. In signing the compact, President Bush said, "We are partners in democracy. We believe that governments ought to respond to the people. We're also partners in fighting disease, extending opportunity and working for peace. Mr. President, I mentioned I was proud to sign, along with the President, the largest Millennium Challenge Account in the history of the United States here in Tanzania. It will provide nearly $700 million over five years to improve Tanzania's transportation network, secure reliable supplies of energy, and expand access to clean and safe water."
