India and Tanzania enjoy traditionally close, friendly, and cooperative relations.

From the 1960s to the 1980s, the political relationship between the two nations involved shared commitments to anticolonialism, non-alignment, as well as South-South cooperation and close cooperation in international fora, according to the Ministry of External Affairs.

In the post-Cold War period, India and Tanzania both initiated economic reform programmes around the same time alongside developing external relations aimed at broader international political and economic relations, developing international business linkages and inward foreign investment.

The bilateral relations between India and Tanzania were elevated to Strategic Partnership during the Tanzanian President Samia Suluhu Hassan's state visit to India.

In recent years, India-Tanzania ties have evolved into a modern and pragmatic relationship with sound political understanding, diversified economic engagement, people-to-people contacts in the field of education & healthcare, and development partnerships in capacity building training, concessional credit lines and grant projects, the MEA stated.
