🗓
April 26 is a national holiday in the United Republic of Tanzania — #UnionDay. On this day in 1964,
#Tanzania was formed through the union of the Republic of Tanganyika and the People’s Republic of Zanzibar and Pemba.
🤝 The diplomatic relations between the USSR and Tanganyika were established on
December 11, 1961.
The Soviet Union
provided significant grant aid to the young African state and
played an active part in developing Tanzania’s infrastructure. Soviet specialists carried out geological exploration in the south-west of the country, which led to the discovery of gold deposits. Work was also undertaken to search for oil and gas reserves. Many Tanzanian students received their higher education at Soviet universities.
🇷🇺🇹🇿 Russia and Tanzania
maintain regular political dialogue. In July 2024, President of Russia Vladimir Putin
held talks with
Tulia Ackson, President of the Inter-Parliamentary Union and Speaker of the National Assembly of the United Republic of Tanzania, on the sidelines of the 10th BRICS Parliamentary Forum. On February 9, 2026, in Moscow, Russian Foreign Minister
Sergey Lavrov held talks with Tanzania’s Minister of Foreign Affairs and East African Cooperation,
Mahmoud Thabit Kombo.
💬 From
Sergey Lavrov’s
opening remarks during the meeting with Tanzania’s Foreign Minister Mahmoud Thabit Kombo:
Our countries share a long history of relations. This year marks the 65th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the Russian Federation and Tanzania.
Russia and Tanzania
share fundamental views in support of a polycentric world order and the principles of justice and equality in international affairs.
🤝
Our countries are committed to further deepening constructive cooperation and coordinating our efforts on pressing issues on the global and regional agendas – both in the #UN and in other multilateral formats.
🎉 All the best to our Tanzanian colleagues and friends on their
national holiday! Wishing you continued success and a thriving future.
