[PRESSWIRE] DAR ES SALAAM, Tanzania – 2026-03-08 — The United Kingdom reaffirmed support for Tanzania’s environmental and climate initiatives through cooperation with government agencies.

The pledge was made during a meeting between Richard Muyungi, permanent secretary in the Vice-President’s Office for Union and Environment, and Euan Davidson of the British Embassy’s Sustainable Environment Programme.
