Tanzania´s global economic diplomacy: Evaluating international partnerships for prosperity

Roundtable meeting in Dar es Salaam, United Republic of Tanzania

On 27 July 2023, the Chatham House Africa Programme and the Konrad Adenauer-Stiftung (KAS) Tanzania office convened a private roundtable meeting in Dar es Salaam. The discussion focused on the priorities for Tanzania’s engagement on the international stage, including the effectiveness of global partnerships for trade, investment and infrastructure development, and the country’s agency in responding to shared challenges such as climate change. The roundtable marked the third event in a project partnership series between KAS and Chatham House on Tanzania’s Foreign Policy Agenda: Economic Diplomacy and International Agency. The series aims to encourage informed dialogue and debate at an important moment for Tanzania’s external engagements: the country’s main foreign relations strategy document, the ‘New Foreign Policy’, was adopted in 2001, but an official review has been commissioned by President Samia Suluhu Hassan and is to take place in 2023. The first event under this collaboration, a webinar on Tanzanian agency in the international system, 1 was held in November 2022; and a roundtable event in Arusha, focused on regional foreign policy, was held in May 2023. 2 This Dar es Salaam roundtable meeting was held under the Chatham House Rule. 3 The following document summarizes the key findings and themes of the discussion.
