Africa-Press<\/a> – Tanzania<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>TANZANIA stands to benefit immensely from President Samia Suluhu Hassan\u2019s participation in the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), say pundits.<\/p>\n

They cited areas where the country stands to gain include strengthening economic diplomacy; attract investments and promotion of tourism.<\/p>\n

The analysts gave their diplomatic and economic viewpoints on benefits Tanzania stands to gain from President Samia\u2019s participation in the UN General Assembly, mentioning the issue of rebranding and promoting the country in the international community.<\/p>\n

University of Dodoma (UDOM) lecturer Dr Paul Loisulie noted that Tanzania needs the international community because the country cannot exist in separation, thus, Samia\u2019s attendance in the UNGA signifies that.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are going to further label ourselves that we recognise the international community,\u201d Dr Loisulie stated in a telephone interview. 0759520856<\/p>\n

The UDOM senior lecturer also pointed out that President Samia\u2019s address to the UNGA would provide a crucial platform for the country to present its agenda in the international community as well as rebranding the country without prejudice.<\/p>\n

He said through her address, Tanzania will get the opportunity to tell what it was doing in implementing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).<\/p>\n

\u201cConsidering that Tanzania\u2019s President is a female, that could also add uniqueness amongst other Heads of State in the UN General Assembly, thus she would attract other attendees to know about Tanzania, something which would help to promote the country in the international community,\u201d Dr Loisulie said.<\/p>\n

An Economist-cum-Investment Banker Dr Hildebrand Shayo was of the view that President Samia\u2019s visit to the USA came at an opportune time and such a visit will have huge economic benefits to Tanzania.<\/p>\n

Dr Shayo argued that her visit comes at the time when Tanzania is determined to strengthen her relationship with countries such as USA that would bring positive impact to help support Tanzania\u2019s efforts under her government in ensuring all opportunities are well captured for the benefit of Tanzanians.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo put things into perspective, USA investors have several projects in Tanzania and many Americans each year visit Tanzania as their favourite tourist\u2019s destination.<\/p>\n

The multiplier effect created by President Samia\u2019s visit will help to open more avenues to investors and more tourists and their multiplier effects will be enormous to Tanzania,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Dr Shayo further said the USA and Tanzania need each other, an increased investment among US investors\u2019 business community in Tanzania along with other developments will create important opportunities for Tanzania to develop.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is time Tanzania and USA knock each other\u2019s door but importantly for Tanzania to be proactive by knocking to USA through trade relationship especially after signing of the AfCFTA,\u201d he said. He insisted that Tanzania and other developing countries should opt for a value chain system rather than supply chain to efficiently explore market opportunities open to these countries.<\/p>\n

\u201cI believe this will increase investment in processing industries and thus increase\/add values to local agro-produces in Tanzania and in our region,\u201d he insisted.<\/p>\n

\u201cTanzania is blessed with natural resources that the country is blessed with, still the government does not have full economic muscle to finance their exploitation, calling and inviting investors from the USA and identification of the right investors will also benefit fully from the resources,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Since Ms Samia assumed the presidency, the USA and other nations\u2019 support of Tanzania\u2019s quest for economic transformation has gained headlines for both internal and international media. She has further bolstered the country\u2019s bilateral ties with visits to neighbouring Kenya, Uganda, Burundi, Rwanda, Zambia and Malawi where benefits have already started flowing into Tanzania through trade increase.<\/p>\n

President Samia left the country on Saturday to attend the 76th United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) summit. She is also scheduled to attend a series of meetings to discuss climate change, food security and implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).<\/p>\n

The president landed in New York on Sunday and was received by a number of Tanzanians living in the US.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
