Question: Tanzania and the Nordic countries have long term historical ties. What would you say cements the cordial relation between the two sides?
Answer: We have very long historic relations and they have also been very friendly and characterised by a mutual understanding, trust and confidence. I think the key word is trust and being able to build up a very good relationship.
We also have had wide cooperation, working with all stakeholders in the society like the government, private sector, civil society and academia, and we have done this in a very holistic way.
Q: The first ever Business Climate Survey for Nordic Companies in Tanzania 2019 viewed the Tanzanian business environment to consist of largely unfavourable terms; what are some of the issues you want addressed by the current government to improve business relations?
