What you need to know:

The United States and Tanzania are entering into a new era, one in which we deliver on our development cooperation priorities while increasing our focus on strengthening investment and trade ties between our two countries.

Between each annual meeting, representatives from the US Embassy in Dar es Salaam and the Tanzanian Ministry of Industry and Trade will regularly confer to develop and shape the dialogue, implement decisions, collaborate on next steps, troubleshoot issues companies are facing, and serve as technical experts advising both our governments. Early discussions will focus on growing Tanzania’s digital economy, increasing US and Tanzanian market access, improving regulatory and business climate reforms, organizing trade missions to the United States and Tanzania, and developing trade fairs in both our countries. Together, we will increase our mutual understanding, forge new commercial ties between our countries, and learn and share best practices for successfully operating in the American and Tanzanian markets.

Over time, the US-Tanzania Commercial Dialogue will become the foundation for building a strong and lasting bilateral trade relationship that benefits both businesses and the average US and Tanzanian citizen. Whether by bringing high-quality Tanzanian products to US markets or by expanding US economic engagement in Tanzania and creating good paying jobs to expand and develop Tanzania’s middle class, this agreement is the first step. Sustained engagement between our governments and private sectors will be critical to improving the business environment, removing barriers to trade, integrating our economies, resolving supply chain issues, and fully realizing our shared prosperity goals. The US-Tanzania Commercial Dialogue will provide a platform for us to do all this, and jointly explore, and strengthen regulatory policies that attract US businesses to Tanzania, and Tanzanian businesses to the United States. Tanzanian producers, manufacturers, entrepreneurs, and small and medium sized enterprises stand the most to gain. This agreement will build strong, lasting, and mutually beneficial ties between our two countries.
