Tanzania, Rwanda Move to Deepen Economic, Infrastructure Ties

President Samia Suluhu Hassan and Rwandan President Paul Kagame have committed to deepening bilateral cooperation, with a particular focus on trade facilitation, infrastructure development, and regional integration.

The move is designed to streamline transit logistics for Rwanda, which relies on the port for approximately 70% of its imports and exports, totalling 1.6 million tonnes of cargo annually. President Samia reaffirmed Tanzania's readiness to consolidate relations with Rwanda by removing existing economic barriers and building on the achievements recorded over decades of close partnership and good neighbourliness.

Kagame has described relations between Rwanda and Tanzania as "brotherly," reaffirming commitment to deepen cooperation across key sectors including trade, investment, and infrastructure. Rwanda and Tanzania have in recent years deepened cooperation in trade and regional integration, with Tanzania serving as a key gateway for Rwanda's imports and exports through the Port of Dar es Salaam.
