China has signed new commitments to revamp the Tanzania-Zambia Railway Authority (Tazara) line, confirming plans to rebuild a key export route for minerals.
The deal, signed Monday in Beijing after nearly two years of talks between China, Tanzania, and Zambia, will see the two African countries — through their railway agencies — coordinate renovations, management and operations of the line running from Dar es Salaam Port to Kapiri Mposhi in Zambia’s Copperbelt.
