The Alliance for Democratic Change (ADC) has stated that its government will safeguard the relationship between Tanzania and other nations.
The party's election manifesto for 2025-2030 outlines that this government will enhance these relationships and leverage them for developmental benefits, particularly in economic and social aspects for the advantage of Tanzania.
"Economic diplomacy in relationships will be one of the key tools to drive our nation's development in areas such as trade, education, experience exchange, expertise, and fostering connections between the ADC government and other countries," the manifesto states.
It further adds: "Regional cooperation in matters of security, economy, trade, and infrastructure will also be prioritized both within and outside Africa as a whole."
The manifesto indicates that the ADC government will ensure that developmental interests and opportunities are primarily reserved for the citizens of Tanzania, and if a foreigner is to benefit from these opportunities, they must collaborate with the government or the local residents of the area where the investment opportunity exists.
"The ADC government will establish a special department to oversee the interests of the country and its people in matters involving foreigners, while also advising citizens on appropriate and beneficial relationships when collaborating with outsiders," the manifesto explains.
The ADC has promised to allow the establishment of advisory offices and agencies for citizens regarding cooperation based on their resources to assist even in domestic investments among Tanzanians themselves.
The party has committed to having patriotic leaders who are accountable, ethical, trustworthy, innovative, disciplined, loving, compassionate, humane, gentle, hospitable, respectful of people, and who will be guided by wisdom and prudence, with a deep love for their country.
"The government led by the ADC will lay down solid foundations and laws regarding volunteerism in building our nation, providing citizens with various opportunities and awards as compensation or honor for their contributions to the country through volunteering," the manifesto states.
