During her visit to Russia from June 3-5, Tanzanian President Samia Suluhu Hassan plans to sign several agreements focusing on cooperation in higher education, science, information and communication technology (ICT), and investments. The visit will include discussions with Russian President Vladimir Putin and participation in the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF), where President Hassan will address the plenary session. The forum is a platform for Tanzania to showcase its economic transformation program aimed at improving the business and investment climate, particularly in sectors such as energy, infrastructure, mining, and tourism. Additionally, President Hassan will attend the Tanzania-Russia Business and Investment Forum, which aims to explore ways to enhance bilateral trade, currently valued at $307.5 million annually. This trip is particularly notable as it marks the first visit by a Tanzanian president to Russia in more than 55 years, following the last high-level visit by Tanzania's first president, Julius Kambarage Nyerere, in October 1969.
