Tanzania’s Prime Minister Kassim Majaliwa has arrived in Grenada to represent President Dr. Samia Suluhu Hassan at the fourth Afri-Caribbean Trade and Investment Forum (ACTIF 2025), which runs from July 28 to 30 at the Radisson Conference Centre in St. George’s.
The prestigious gathering, which brings together heads of state, policymakers, business leaders and investors from Africa and the Caribbean, is themed “Resilience and Transformation: Strengthening the Afri-Caribbean Economic Partnership in a Turbulent World.”
It seeks to deepen economic ties and unlock trade and investment opportunities between the two regions.
While in Grenada, Prime Minister Majaliwa is expected to participate in a high-level roundtable of Heads of State and Government, engage in bilateral discussions with counterparts from other nations, and meet with leading international investors.
The Prime Minister’s mission aligns with President Samia’s foreign policy focus on economic diplomacy, as Tanzania continues its strategic push to attract foreign investment, expand trade horizons, and promote inclusive development.
“This visit is a reflection of Tanzania’s growing stature on the global stage and our commitment to building meaningful partnerships that benefit the country’s economy and its people,” said a senior official from the Prime Minister’s Office.
The forum’s agenda features strategic discussions on creating a Free Trade Area between Africa and the Caribbean, operationalising the Afri-Caribbean Business Council, promoting innovation-led growth, and improving air and maritime connectivity to enhance trade and people-to-people relations.
ACTIF 2025 is jointly organized by the Government of Grenada and the African Export-Import Bank (Afreximbank), a pan-African multilateral financial institution established to promote and finance intra- and extra-African trade.
Tanzania’s participation in ACTIF 2025 follows a series of regional and global engagements by President Samia’s administration, which have boosted investor confidence and positioned the country as an emerging destination for trade and investment in Africa.
