State-owned China Unicom Global has launched operations in Tanzania to support digital transformation.

This initiative will help strengthen the partnership between Tanzania and China in the digital field. The two countries signed a memorandum of understanding relating to the promotion of the distribution of information and communication technologies in Tanzania in June 2022. The emphasis was placed on 5G, the deployment of telecoms services in inaccessible areas, and cybersecurity.

China Unicom Global is also expected to help accelerate the Tanzanian government’s digital transformation vision, which aims to make digital a driver of socio-economic development.
