TANZANIA expects increased exports, industrial growth and job creation following China’s implementation of a zero-tariff policy for 53 African countries, officials said on Saturday.
The remarks were made during a meeting themed “Zero-Tariff for Shared Opportunities” held for Tanzanian exporters in the port city of Dar es Salaam.
Tanzanian Minister of Industry and Trade Judith Kapinga said the initiative comes at a crucial time as Tanzania strengthens its position in regional and international trade through economic diplomacy and industrial reforms.
Kapinga said China remains one of Tanzania’s most strategic trade and investment partners, with bilateral cooperation spanning infrastructure, manufacturing, agriculture, mining and tourism.
“This opportunity is vital for local entrepreneurs, and we are deeply grateful to China for opening these doors to trade,” the minister said.
