Dar es Salaam. Economists and political analysts say talks between President Samia Suluhu Hassan and her Ugandan counterpart, President Yoweri Museveni, signal a deliberate strategy to reposition Uganda as Tanzania’s closest and most strategically integrated partner within the East African Community (EAC).
They say the discussions, covering oil exports, pipelines, ports, railways and regional security, reflect a shift from broad regional cooperation to a more focused bilateral integration agenda designed to bind the two economies together over the long term.
