President Samia launched Tanzania’s new foreign policy for 2024. The revised edition replaces the 2001 framework and prioritizes economic diplomacy, diaspora inclusion, climate diplomacy, a blue economy, and Kiswahili promotion.
Speaking at the launch, President Samia explained that the revision aims to align Tanzania’s foreign policy with the ongoing political, economic, and social changes taking place globally, and to ensure that the country is well-positioned to benefit from regional and international cooperation. She emphasized that the original principles of Tanzania’s foreign policy remain unchanged, including the commitment to non-alignment, respect for sovereignty, support for African unity, and cooperation within the United Nations framework.
President Samia noted that the updated policy provides a platform for modern diplomacy that responds to emerging challenges, and supports Tanzania’s national development goals through strategic international partnerships. She further called on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and East African Cooperation to ensure that the contents of the policy are widely understood and implemented, and warned against foreign interference aimed at destabilizing the country’s longstanding peace and security.
