Palestine–Tanzania relations are the bilateral relations between Palestine and Tanzania. Tanzania and its ruling party are staunch supporters of the establishment of a Palestinian state.[1] A close connection was developed between Yasser Arafat and Julius Nyerere, the president of Tanzania.[2][3] One of the earliest in Africa, the embassy of Palestine in Tanzania was opened in 1973.[4] During the Uganda–Tanzania War, Palestinian fighters supported the Ugandan side.[5]
Sports relations
Tanzania hosted the Palestinian national team in February 2011 for a friendly game that took place in Dar es Salaam and finished with a 1–0 victory for Tanzania.[6]
