India and Tanzania have historically enjoyed close and friendly relations anchored in mutually beneficial commercial exchanges and extensive people-to-people contacts. India is the largest trading partner of Tanzania in Africa with bilateral trade in 2013-14 being more than USD 4 billion.
Apart from trade relations, India is also the important destination for Tanzanians seeking high quality health care and education.
Indians form the largest expatriate community in Tanzania and their positive contribution in the progress and development of their host country is well recognized and appreciated.
There are over approximately 50,000 to 60,000 persons of Indian origion living and working in Tanzania and approximately 10,000 Indian expatriates.
