New US ambassador to Tanzania, Michael Battle, is a retired military officer, academic, member of the clergy, and diplomat. In an exclusive interview with The Citizen, hosted by the Managing Editor, Mpoki Thomson, he sheds light on US-Tanzania economic, social, and investment ties, while addressing concerns about security alerts and the Ukraine war.

President Biden is coming back to the notion that you cannot and should not want to have exclusive bilateral relationships with a continent that sees itself emerging into multilateral relationships. If the African continent perceived itself as being a combination exclusive of 55 bilateral entities by itself, then bilateral to bilateral is the only way to go, but the African continent models its vision 2063 after the European Union, not after the United States of Africa. In the EU, you have trade that goes throughout the continent, where one is able to travel and trade from one country to another without having to go through these different regulations. That’s where our focus is now: on understanding the advantages of multilateralism. We are fully on board to see every element of Africa 2063 materialise.
