Rwanda and Tanzania on Saturday, July 26 signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) on the establishment and operationalisation of Tanzania Ports Authority’s liaison office in Kigali to boost trade between the two countries, according to officials. The office is expected to allow Rwandan traders to have their goods cleared without having to travel to Tanzania ports, mainly Dar es Salaam. The two countries also signed another agreement on agriculture cooperation. Both deals were signed at the ministerial session of the 16th Joint Permanent Commission between Rwanda and Tanzania, on Saturday, July 26, in Kigali. Speaking at the event, foreign affairs minister Olivier Nduhungirehe said trade and investment between Rwanda and Tanzania remains strong and they are committed to expanding it. “We believe that there was still considerable untapped potential on both sides,” he said. "We value our partnership with Tanzania which facilitates over 70 per cent of our maritime cargo through the Port of Dar es Salaam," he added, noting that the MoU establishing a Tanzania Ports Authority liaison office in Kigali “will streamline logistics, reduce bottle necks and enhance trade efficiency between our two countries."
