The President of Tanzania, Hon. Samia Suluhu Hassan has recently met with the leaders of the Tanzania Private Sector Foundation (TPSF)–the apex body of the private sector in Tanzania–to discuss various issues related to trade and investment promotion in the country as well as expand the tax base.

The meeting was held at the State House in Dar es Salaam where the leaders thanked President Suluhu for the steps taken to strengthen ties between the Government and the private sector.
