National priorities in the context of increasing international interdependence and interactions requires a synthesis of the bilateral and multilateral approaches.
Soon after independence and later the union of Tanganyika and Zanzibar to form the United Republic of Tanzania in 1964, diplomacy was key to promoting economic growth; and historically, Tanzania’s foreign policy has always stressed a commitment to effective multilateralism as a core principle in defence of freedom, justice, human rights, equality and democracy. We believe this can be feasible through, inter alia, promotion of African Unity and working with the United Nations in its search for international economic development, peace and security. Recognising the complex nature of multilateralism, we re-affirm the policy of non-alignment and promotion of south- south cooperation.
As we work towards building a self-sustaining economy and preserving of national peace and security, we are committed to supporting regional and international endeavor for the creation of better and peaceful world.
