President Museveni has left the country for Vietnam where he will open the first ever Uganda-Vietnam business summit and trade exhibition.
The President was seen off by the UPDF airforce commander Lt Gen Charles Okidi and Maj Gen Abel Kandiho, the Joint Chief of Police Staff.
The summit is scheduled to start today in Hanoi, Vietnam and will run until November 26 2022, at the Hilton Opera in Hanoi, Vietnam, under the theme “Unlocking investment opportunities.”
The president will also hold talks with his Vietnamese counterpart, Nguyen Xuan Phuc who has invited the Ugandan leader to the Asian country.
“Whilst there, he will hold official talks with President Nguyễn Xuân Phúc and also witness the signing of agreements between the two countries among other engagements,” Senior Presidential Press Secretary, Sandor Walusimbi said on Wednesday.
According to King Ceasor Augustus Mulenga, the Honorary Consul of Vietnam in Uganda said the summit will be another opportunity for both countries to bolster relations.
“Vietnam is near China but is blessed just like Uganda. Whereas the products produced by both countries are similar, Vietnam is ahead of Uganda in terms of value addition to their products. The summit is an opportunity for Uganda to tap into this expertise in adding value to products,”Mulenga said.
