Tanzania is situated at the heart of Africa’s eastern coastline, bordering the Indian Ocean and enjoying a uniquely advantageous geopolitical position. It has long been known as the “bridgehead” of East Africa and serves as one of the key strategic nodes in the Belt and Road Initiative’s African footprint.
