Tanzania and Angola plan to link ocean corridors

# Tanzania and Angola have agreed to link their Indian and Atlantic Ocean transport corridors through Zambia and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Tanzanian president Samia Suluhu Hassan says the Benguela railway will connect to the Tanzania-Zambia railway, linking Angola’s Lobito corridor to the port of Dar es Salaam. The project follows a Chinese agreement to modernise the Tanzania-Zambia railway, strengthening regional trade and mineral exports. No completion date has been announced.
