"The two countries signed a bilateral trade agreement that has formalized the business traffic between the two countries. Other cooperation frameworks signed during President Erdogan’s visit to Uganda have facilitated implementation of several joint projects in the field of education, agro-processing and value addition, infrastructural development, and ICT, among others,” Oryem added.
“Uganda is a peace-loving country and cherishes an environment of stability, peace, and security, for the country, the region, and entire world as a peaceful resolution of conflicts, and condemn all forms of terrorist attacks wherever they occur.
"We will never allow Uganda to be used as a base for terrorists nor to undermine the democracy and sovereignty of any other country,” he further declared.
