President Tharman Shanmugaratnam will make a state visit to the United Republic of Tanzania from June 8 to 10. He will be the first Singaporean head of state to visit the East African country.

While in the capital of Dar es Salaam, President Tharman will be given an official welcome ceremony and be hosted to a state banquet by his Tanzanian counterpart.
The two presidents will also witness a memoranda of understanding and exchange ceremony.
President Tharman is scheduled to deliver a speech and engage students at the University of Dar es Salaam during his visit.
