In Tanzania, Modi will hold talks with President John Pombe Joseph Magufuli on a range of issues.
The visit will be aimed at giving an impetus to ties with Tanzania, a valued friend in Africa, Modi had said.
He will also be meeting ‘Solar Mamas’, a group of rural women solar engineers from Africa who have been trained under Government of India-supported programmes to fabricate, install, use, repair and maintain solar lanterns and household solar lighting systems in their villages.
Modi is on five-day four-nation tour. He visited Mozambique and South Africa before arriving here. He will also visit Kenya.
The focus of the African tour is on deepening cooperation in areas of hydrocarbons, maritime security, trade and investment, agriculture and food.

My Take.
Gazeti la India lililoripoti kuwa Waziri Mambo ya nje wa Tanzania ni Member halina makosa kwa sababu source ya taarifa hii imetokana na msemaji rasmi wa wizara ya Mambo ya nje wa India Bw. Vikas Swarap.
Kikawaida kabla ya kuanza kwa ziara hii wahusika were suppose to have done their homework from Tanzania Embassy in Dehli hivyo inawezekana hilo ndilo jina walilopewa na ubalozi wetu kule!.
