Tanzania, Egypt agree to deepen cooperation across key economic sectors

Tanzania and Egypt on Saturday agreed to deepen economic cooperation across multiple sectors following talks between Tanzanian President Samia Suluhu Hassan and her Egyptian counterpart Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, who concluded a one-day state visit to Tanzania.



The agreement was reached after official talks held at the State House in Dar es Salaam, where the two leaders pledged to strengthen collaboration in agriculture, livestock, health, education, transport and investment.



Speaking after the meeting, Hassan said the two countries will prioritize boosting food production through irrigation farming, improving the livestock sector and expanding bilateral trade. She added that Tanzania has offered the Ruvu Ranch for joint livestock development projects and invited Egypt to invest through public institutions.
