United States Vice President Kamala D. Harris hosted President Samia Suluhu Hassan of Tanzania at the White House on Friday and highlighted three key areas of cooperation both nations will be focusing on, including strengthening democracy, bolstering economic growth and improving healthcare.

Samia Suluhu Hassan has been the president of Tanzania since March 19, 2021. She had held the position of Vice President but took over as the nation’s first female head of state when President John Magufuli passed away due to an illness.
