Tanzania high level defence delegation visits India

What happened:

 From February 17–19, a delegation of the Tanzania Peoples’ Defence Forces visited India and held talks with the Indian Defence Forces, focusing on cyber cooperation and technical exchanges. The visit follows the five-year defence roadmap agreed during the 2023 State visit of Tanzania’s President, with recent discussions also held at the Joint Defence Cooperation Committee meeting in Zanzibar.

Why it matters:

 The engagement strengthens India–Tanzania defence ties, expanding collaboration in cyber, maritime security, counter-terrorism and capacity building under their structured five-year cooperation framework.
