The two sides also addressed a number of issues of mutual interest, emphasizing the importance of continued diplomatic coordination and consultation.
Strategic dimensions of Saudi-African relations

Tanzania, with its strategic location in East Africa, is a key partner for the Kingdom, and both countries seek to capitalize on the promising opportunities offered by Saudi Vision 2030 and Tanzanian development plans.
