The Governments of Zambia and Tanzania have signed a communiqué to resolve challenges in the Dar-Es-Salaam Corridor to ensure the seamless flow of traffic and reduced cost of trade between Kapiri-Mposhi and Dar-Es-Salaam.

The communiqué was signed during a two-day Bilateral Road Transport Meeting between the Ministries of Transport from the two countries held  in Tunduma in Tanzania.

The Road Transport Bilateral Meeting was convened to review and resolve the challenges transporters are facing along the Dar-Es-Salaam Corridor, following a joint technical committee report that had input from the assessment of the transport route from Kapiri-Mposhi to Dar-Es-Salaam.

Ministry of Transport and Logistics Permanent Secretary FREDRICK MWALUSAKA signed the communiqué on behalf of the Zambian Government while Tanzania’s Ministry of Works and Transport Permanent Secretary GABRIEL MIGIRE signed on behalf of his country.

Ministry of Information and Media KENNEDY KALUNGA noted that the outcome of the meeting will create a common understanding between the two sister countries to enhance the flow of goods and services through the Nakonde/Tunduma One Stop Border Post.

In the communiqué, Zambian and Tanzanian authorities re-affirmed their commitment to implement the decisions agreed upon during the similar meetings held in Lusaka in September 2022 and June 2023 in Tunduma, Tanzania.
