Tanzania has signed a contract for $1.32 billion in Chinese support for the ongoing construction of the standard gauge railway.
President John Magufuli signed the contract on Friday with visiting Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi who has been on a traditional New Year whirlwind tour of African capitals. The two met in President Magufuli’s home town of Chato, where the president is spending his leave.
