Ukraine, Tanzania to formalise military trade relations

Tanzania and Ukraine will formalise their military trade relations through the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MoU), Ukroboronprom - Ukraine's state-owned defence holding company - announced on 17 October.

The announcement follows the visit of Ukroboronprom representatives, including deputy director general Maxim 

Gluschenko, to Tanzania on 7-8 October.

According to Ukroboronprom, the visit saw Gluschenko meet with Tanzanian Minister of Defence Shamsi Vuai Nahodha, after which they agreed to sign a memorandum "strengthening co-operation in exports and imports of goods and services for military and special purposes". The prospective agreement reflects Ukroboronprom's desire develop its military exports through collaboration with other countries.
