Proposed Multimodal Transportation System to Enhance Trade Between Tanzania and DRC

TLDR

• Tanzania hosted DRC President Félix-Antoine Tshisekedi in Zanzibar to strengthen bilateral relations.
• The DRC is Africa's second-largest country with over 100 million people and significant mineral and agricultural resources.
• The DRC's economic potential is limited by infrastructure challenges and high transportation costs.
• Over 60% of cargo through Tanzania's Port of Dar es Salaam is destined for the DRC, highlighting the importance of transport infrastructure.
• A proposed multimodal transportation system aims to enhance trade by improving railways, roads, and ports, including the Standard Gauge Railway expansion.
