This Friday marks a major milestone: 60 years of rock-solid diplomatic relations between China and Tanzania! From infrastructure projects to cultural exchanges, these allies have turned their handshake in 1964 into a blueprint for South-South cooperation.
Trade is booming: Bilateral trade hit $8.78 billion in 2023, up 8.9% year-on-year. China remains Tanzania’s #1 trading partner, offering zero tariffs on 98% of Tanzanian exports – from coffee to precious stones.
With their partnership upgraded to “comprehensive strategic” status in 2022, expect more collaborations in green energy, tech, and education. Analysts call it a “win-win model” for Global South development.
