Tanzania to hold international trade fair

More than 650 firms from countries across the world, including China, have confirmed to participate in the 40th Dar es Salaam International Trade Fair in Tanzania, authorities said on Thursday.

Edwin Rutageruka, Acting Managing Director for Tanzania Trade Development Authority, said the fair, a forum for business exchange, opens on June 28.

Rutageruka said the fair will this year aim to create sustainable trade by linking small and big manufacturers.

He told the local exhibitors to use the opportunity by capturing long lasting trade networks and deal with their colleagues from abroad.

"You should not focus on just the buyers but make sure you create positive relations with other exhibitors to learn and challenge yourself to improve," he said. Endit
