The Southern African Development Community (SADC) convened for an emergency meeting in Dodoma, Tanzania, to address pressing issues that demand swift action. Tanzania’s Deputy Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and East African Cooperation, Ambassador Said Shaib Mussa, represented the country at the meeting, which brought together the Council of Ministers.

Chairing the session, South Africa’s Minister of International Relations and Cooperation, Ronald Lamola, emphasized that the meeting reflected SADC member states' ongoing commitment to collective decision-making on urgent matters. The agenda covered several key topics, including preparations for a virtual Emergency Summit of Heads of State and Government scheduled for November 7, 2025. Additionally, discussions focused on budgetary concerns related to defense and security, as well as leadership transitions within SADC following Madagascar’s decision to withdraw from its role as Chair for the August 2025–August 2026 term.
