A STRONG
trade-cum-investment TPSF-led delegation is set to leave on Friday for
the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), to explore trade and investment
opportunities in a three-day tour which ...
ends on March 8, 2020, Tanzania
Private Sector Foundation Chairperson, Ms Angelina Ngalula, announced in
Dar es Salaam yesterday.
She did not give
the number of delegates because, she said, a final list had not been
finalized, but said the response had been impressive.
"Tanzania is producing quality goods that have a ready market in DRC. But Tanzania has also many economic opportunities.
We want these
things to be known to our colleagues in the DRC. Tanzania currently
chairs the Southern Africa Development Community (SADC), Business
Council, meaning we have the duty to encourage and promote business
among ourselves.
This is the background behind this tour," she explained.
Ms Ngalula thanked Tanzanian Embassy in Kinshasa for identifying areas of focus.
She praised
government workers for timely cooperation and blessing the tour,
explaining that the transportation infrastructure was excellent, hence
the importance of taking advantage of this fact to promote trade between
Tanzania and her neighbours.
"TPSF recognises
the immense focused efforts of the government in building this enabling
infrastructure and we thank the government for this great job," she
said.
The Chairman of
Tanzania Food Processors Association, Ms Suzy S. Laizer said processors
would use the visit to enlarge the geographical market area for their
products.
"We have been in
the processing field for a long time. So we are taking with us products
we believe will impress Congolese customers so that we can cement trade
that will benefits our two countries," she said.
The TPSF Executive
Director, Mr Godfrey Simbeye, called on prospective delegates to quickly
finalise preparations for the trip and calling of delegates to make the
most of the Congolese trip.
"DRC imports
products from many countries that are produced in Tanzania. They will be
happy to buy products from us because it is advantageous to them," he
explained.
