Putin, Tanzanian President Hold Talks to Expand Bilateral Cooperation

(MENAFN) Russian President Vladimir Putin met with Tanzanian President Samia Suluhu Hassan at the Kremlin on Wednesday for discussions centered on strengthening cooperation across a range of sectors.

During their bilateral meeting, Putin highlighted the growth in trade between the two countries, noting that commercial exchange increased by around 20% to 25% over the past year. He described the rise as evidence of the untapped potential in the partnership.

The Russian leader said Moscow and Dar es Salaam should expand collaboration in several strategic fields, including energy, mineral exploration, transportation, logistics, healthcare and education.

"It is gratifying to note that after your inauguration, you chose Russia as the first foreign country for a state visit. We see this as a very good sign," he said.

Hassan said her trip was intended to advance cooperation and support long-term development goals for both nations.

"As you said, my visit is of historic significance both for me personally and for the entire country, because more than half a century has passed since the last state visit to Russia," she said. "That was in 1969, when the founding father of our country paid a state visit."

The visit marks a significant diplomatic engagement between the two countries and reflects efforts to broaden economic and political relations in the years ahead.
