The two heads of State who have shown their willingness to strengthen bilateral cooperation relations, also talked about trade on Tanganyika Lake. Several integrating projects were also on the agenda of their exchanges. Arrived at the beginning of the evening in Dar-es-Salaam, the Congolese Head of State, 2nd deputy chairmen of the African Union and President of the Central Africa sub-region, was greeted at the airport by his colleague John Magufuli.

Dar-es-Salam: haven of peace or city of peace

Founded in 1862 by Sultan Seyyid Majib of Zanzibar, its origins have been influenced by a myriad of sultans, both German and British. At first a fishing village, it has become the largest city in Tanzania and one of the ports and major shopping centers of East Africa.

Dar-es-Salam is the financial hub of Tanzania, despite the loss of its status as the official capital for Dodoma in 1973. The visit of the Congolese Head of State aims to strengthen the friendly relations between the DRC and the country of Julius Nyerere. Recall that Tanzanian President John Pombe Mangufuli was the first head of State to congratulate Félix Antoine Tshisekedi Tshilombo at the time of his election in January 2019.
