Beijing back in business in Dar es-Salaam post-Magufuli

摘要

The new Tanzanian president Samia Suluhu Hassan has embarked on a new business venture with China: the construction of an industrial park in Mwanza on the shores of Lake Victoria. Very active since she was sworn in, Tanzania's ambassador in Beijing Mbelwa Kairuki personally conveyed the industrial park proposal to the vice president of China Railway Construction Corp (CRCC), Wang Whenzong. The company was already preparing to set up shop in Tanzania after winning the contract in January to build the final 314 km stretch of the new railway line between Dar es-Salaam and Mwanza.
