US embassy cable - 05DARESSALAAM1163

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

SUBJECT: AGOA FORUM OUTREACH 
 
REF: STATE 107204 
 
1. Per reftel, post confirms that it has invited and 
encouraged GOT participation at the 2005 AGOA Forum in 
Senegal next month.  The Minister of Trade, Juma Ngasongwa, 
will lead a delegation of four trade officials to the Forum. 
The timing of the Forum makes it impossible for other 
ministers to attend: the Finance Minister will be in the 
middle of the Parliamentary Budget Session and the Foreign 
Minister will be in the middle of his campaign for the 
presidency. 
 
2. Post also invited and encouraged officials from the East 
African Community to attend the Forum, and Secretary-General 
Amanya Mushega has confirmed he will attend with two other 
EAC Trade officials.  This marks the first time the EAC will 
be represented at the AGOA Forum, and post encourages USG 
officials to recognize and warmly welcome the delegation. 
 
3. AGOA continues to be an important part of post's public 
outreach.  Post has organized a PD-sponsored speaker's 
program on AGOA, hosted AGOA round-table discussions, 
encouraged local businesses to take advantage of AGOA, and 
highlighted AGOA at local trade fairs.  Post will continue 
to inform and encourage the GOT and the private sector to 
capitalize on AGOA opportunities.
