President John Pombe Magufuli on Sunday signed five agreements, including one to provide credit $92 million to improve water accessibility on the island of Zanzibar.
“Our in-depth discussions on
regional and global issues reflected our considerable convergence on issues of
common interest and concern,” he said at a joint press interaction after his
bilateral meeting with President Magufuli.
"India is willing to consider an additional $500 million line
of concessional credit," Modi said at a joint news conference with
Tanzanian president John Magufuli in Tanzania's commercial capital, Dar es
Salaam.
According to the agreement on
water, India will extend a line of credit for the rehabilitation and
improvement of the water supply system for the semi-autonomous island of
Zanzibar.
Tanzania and India also agreed to boost
cooperation in health, education, industry and information and communications
technology.
