The president of the United Republic of Tanzania is Samia Suluhu Hassan. Tanzania is a member of the [[United Nations]], UNIDO, the [[World Bank]], the [[International Monetary Fund]], the [[Commonwealth of Nations]], the [[Non-Aligned Movement]], SADC, PTA, and the ADB. It is also signatory to the Lome Convention.

Mainland Tanzania (formerly [[Tanganyika]]) received [[independence]] in December 1961, while [[Zanzibar]] gained her independence in January 1964, through a [[revolution]]. The two countries joined to form the United Republic of Tanzania in April 1964. Until July 1992, Tanzania was a one-party state. Following a Presidential Commission, the country has started a multi-party political system. It has held successful general elections in 1995 and 2000.
