There is high expectation for strengthened regional co-operation from President Samia Suluhu Hassan despite the fact that only one head of state from East Africa turned up for president John Magufuli’s state funeral held at the Jamhuri Stadium in Dodoma on March 22.
In her speech in Dodoma, President Suluhu promised co-operation with regional states to ensure good relations; “We will pay back the kindness you have shown to us that had strengthened our relations and co-operation among us.’’
