The Tanzania-UAE Green Silk Road Initiative was announced on 7 October, the opening day of the Global Food Security Summit in Abu Dhabi.

The initiative aims to establish a sustainable food-security and economic corridor connecting the two countries through production, processing, storage, logistics, trade and market access.
