US Vice President Kamala Harris has announced a $560 million support to boost trade with Tanzania and strengthen democracy.
She lauded Tanzania’s reforms aimed at strengthening democracy in the country. Her host, President Samia Suluhu Hassan, described the visit as a milestone for Tanzania.
The US Vice President is on the second leg of her Africa tour, which began in Ghana and will end in Zambia over the weekend.
President Hassan, after taking over from John Magufuli, who died two years ago, has lifted a ban on opposition rallies, encouraged press freedom, and made exiled politicians return home.
Madam Harris described the decisions as important and meaningful steps that will help expand the two countries’ partnership.
