Current Affairs - Defence - Discussion

Tanzania partnered with India for the 4th Joint Defence Cooperation Committee meeting, which took place in Zanzibar in early February 2026. The meeting served as a platform to review existing defence cooperation and explore new avenues for collaboration. Discussions covered military training, service-to-service exchanges, maritime security, and defence industry partnerships. Both sides also identified emerging focus areas such as counter-terrorism, peacekeeping operations, military medicine, and advanced technologies, including cyber security and artificial intelligence. This engagement reflects the growing strategic defence relationship between India and Tanzania and their shared interest in regional and global security cooperation.
