Nikola Pasic vs Salim Ahmed Salim

Pasic was a delegate at the Congress of Berlin, which recognized Serbia's independence from the Ottoman Empire. The congress also expanded Serbian territory, though not as much as hoped.

Nikola Pasic co-founded the People's Radical Party in Serbia, which became the dominant political force. The party advocated for parliamentary democracy, constitutional reform, and Serbian nationalism.

Nikola Pasic became Prime Minister of Serbia for the first time in February 1891. He would serve multiple terms, becoming the longest-serving prime minister in Serbian history.

As Prime Minister in exile, Pasic signed the Corfu Declaration in July 1917 with the Yugoslav Committee. The declaration outlined the plan for a unified South Slavic state after World War I.

Pasic became the first Prime Minister of the newly formed Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes in December 1918. He played a key role in shaping the new state's constitution and policies.

Salim Ahmed Salim was appointed Tanzania's ambassador to China, strengthening diplomatic ties between the two countries. He played a key role in fostering the Tanzania-China relationship, including support for the TAZARA railway project.

Salim served as Tanzania's Permanent Representative to the United Nations from 1970 to 1980. He was a prominent voice for African liberation movements and anti-apartheid causes, chairing the UN Special Committee on Decolonization.

Salim was elected Secretary-General of the Organization of African Unity (OAU), serving from 1989 to 2001. He led the organization through the end of apartheid in South Africa and the transition to the African Union.

As OAU Secretary-General, Salim oversaw the transition from the OAU to the African Union (AU) in 2001. He helped draft the AU's founding documents and facilitated the launch of the new continental body.
