Tanzania, one of the host countries of the next iteration of the African Cup of Nations (AFCON), has invited Russian investors to partner with the East African country’s private sector to explore economic opportunities tied to the tournament.
Beyond athletics, Tanzanian authorities emphasized the potential for strategic partnerships across sectors, including mining, energy, technology, manufacturing, and education.
Dr. Pius Chaya, Deputy Minister, President’s Office for Planning and Investment, made the call for partnership on Friday in Arusha at the opening of the Tanzania- Russia Business and Investment Forum.
“We invite Russian investors to partner with Tanzania’s private sector in projects linked to Afcon 2027, and the country’s wider economic transformation agenda,” the minister stated.
As seen in The Citizen, the Minister also revealed that Tanzania is well-positioned for such partnerships, given its current economic reforms aimed at attracting more foreign investment and developing infrastructure.
