According to sources inside the diplomatic community, the projected tax of US$144 will be levied at the same rate throughout the entire Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (Comesa) regional bloc. The private sector, and in particular the participants in the logistics industry, who considered the levy as a barrier to commerce in the region, is receiving a significant amount of relief as a result of the reduction in the charge.

The visit is considered her first state visit and not her recent trip to Uganda, which was more of a ‘business trip’, meant to but sign the multi-billion-dollar oil pipeline deal and not a diplomatic visit to discuss diplomatic relations and economics.

The highly anticipated visit is expected to strengthen diplomatic ties as well as iron out economic creases that the two countries had wrangled themselves in over the course of the past few years.

The trip comes as a fulfillment of President Samia’s pledge to parliament that her administration will without fail ‘restore and improve economic diplomacy with partners in the region and across the world.’

As Tanzania mourns the loss of late President John P. Magufuli who passed away on March 17th, a new change for the country is coming with H.E. Samia Suluhu becoming Tanzania’s first female President.

In consideration that the first five phases of Tanzania’s Government were led by men, Her Excellency Ms. Samia Suluhu will embark on the 6th Phase of the Presidency, one that seeks to continue part of the Magufuli legacy, but with a dynamic change of her own flavor.

As someone who has represented Tanzania in most of the international meetings outside of the country, over the course of the past five years, Ms. Samia Suluhu has developed an international flair for diplomacy. She has represented Tanzania at the UN, various East African …
