Tanzania is dedicated to strengthening trade and bilateral relations with Nigeria and other West African nations, according to Tanzania's High Commissioner to Nigeria, Judica Nagunwa.
Nagunwa said that the High Commission actively participates in international trade fairs, showcasing the country's products like coffee, tea, spices, wine, and leather goods. She cited the recent participation in the Lagos International Trade Fair as an example of Tanzania's economic diplomacy.
Nagunwa emphasized the importance of intra-African trade, particularly through the African Continental Free Trade Area, stating that "African countries must trade amongst ourselves, as we have all that we need."
Tanzania's strategic location in East Africa, serving as a gateway to the region, makes it an attractive destination for investment. The country welcomes investments in diverse sectors, including mining, agriculture, tourism, real estate, manufacturing, and the blue economy.
"We invite Nigerian investors to explore these opportunities," Nagunwa concluded.
She also highlighted Tanzania's business-friendly policies and its potential as a hub for businesses aiming to expand into East Africa.
