Kenya has chosen dialogue with Tanzania to resolve their latest trade spat over a policy banning foreigners from small businesses, potentially averting further tensions.

Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi told lawmakers this week that Nairobi has listed its reservations on Tanzania’s policies on Kenyan investors, but will seek to reason with Dodoma, rather than retaliate.
