Tanzania and Mozambique agreed to establish a Joint Economic Commission to enhance trade, investment, and cooperation across key sectors, including agriculture, energy, and infrastructure. The agreement was reached during bilateral talks between Presidents Samia Suluhu Hassan and Daniel Chapo in Dar es Salaam.
The agreement was reached on 8 May 2025 during official talks between President Samia Suluhu Hassan of Tanzania and President Daniel Francisco Chapo of Mozambique held at the State House in Dar es Salaam. The two heads of state agreed to improve the business and investment climate between Tanzania and Mozambique by enabling small and medium enterprises to trade more easily under Simplified Trade Regimes (STRs).
They also agreed to strengthen cooperation in agriculture, which is the mainstay of both economies, with a focus on knowledge sharing and joint research, especially in the cashew sector, to benefit from global market prices and promote processed cashew exports. In the energy sector, the presidents discussed Mozambique’s progress in natural gas and agreed to collaborate on opportunities within the blue economy, including fisheries, tourism, minerals, and maritime transport. They also committed to enhancing cooperation in defense and security, especially in combating cross-border crime.
