Burundi's President Pierre Nkurunziza has Thursday morning been
welcomed by his Tanzanian counterpart John Magufuli to Kagera in the
northwestern region.
The Burundian leader is on a one
day visit to the East Africa's second largest economy where he is
expected to hold bilateral talks with President Magufuli.
It is the first time in two years that President Nkurunziza has made a foreign trip since the 2015 failed coup that was staged while he attended an East African Community Summit in the capital Dar es Salaam.
The
two leaders are meeting at the border town of Ngara where Mr Nkurunziza
was greeted with a 21-gun salute and inspected a guard of honour
mounted by Tanzania People's Defence Forces (TPDF).
President
Magufuli is in Ngara as part of his six-day upcountry tour which kicked
off Wednesday in Biharamulo, in the northwestern, where he inaugurated
the 154km Kagoma-Biharamulo-Lusahunga road connecting the border regions
of Kigoma, Geita and Kagera. The regions border Burundi, Rwanda and
Uganda.
