奧巴馬結束非洲貿易之行

U.S. President Barack Obama has wrapped up his trip to Africa and says he is convinced that with the right approach the continent's people "can unleash a new era of prosperity."

Mr. Obama left Tuesday after visiting and speaking at a once-idle power plant in Tanzania that was restarted through a joint U.S.-Tanzanian effort.

There, the president promoted his new $7 billion program to give more Africans access to electricity, with the goal of boosting the continent's economies.

He ended his week-long visit to Africa with a ceremony at Dar es Salaam airport, where he was seeing off President Jakaya Kikwete and hundreds of cheering and flag-waving Tanzanians.

Earlier Tuesday, former president George W. Bush joined Mr. Obama for a wreath-laying ceremony to honor the 11 people killed in the 1998 bombing of the U.S. embassy in Dar es Salaam.美國總統奧巴馬結束了他的非洲之行。奧巴馬說，他確信有了正確的方法，非洲大陸人民“就能夠開創一個繁榮的新時代。”

結束非洲之行之前，奧巴馬參觀了坦桑尼亞一家一度閒置的發電廠，並發表講話。這家工廠在美國和坦桑尼亞的共同努力下重新開工。

奧巴馬在講話時宣傳一項耗資70億美元的新計劃，讓更多的非洲人用上電，促進非洲大陸的經濟發展。

奧巴馬結束了一個星期的非洲之行。坦桑尼亞總統基奎特到達累斯薩拉姆機場爲他送行。另有幾百名坦桑尼亞人也到機場歡送奧巴馬。

星期二早些時候，美國前總統喬治•W•布什跟奧巴馬一道參加了敬獻花圈的儀式，向美國駐坦桑尼亞首都達累斯薩拉姆大使館1998年爆炸事件的11名遇難者表達敬意。
