(MENAFN) In an interview with Xinhua News Agency on Friday, Minister of State for Foreign Affairs in charge of Regional Cooperation John Mulimba stated that Uganda formally became a BRICS partner state on January 1, 2025, a move that is anticipated to open up investment opportunities and strengthen ties with some of the world's top emerging economies.
Mulimba highlighted the revolutionary potential of Uganda's BRICS cooperation, saying that it has joined a group of nations that are “highly industrialized, some of which have evolved from similar circumstances to where we are now.”
He emphasized the value of BRICS as a forum for innovation and technological exchange, especially in the fields of information and communication technology. Mulimba thinks that these developments may be useful instruments for Uganda's "societal transformation."
The minister added that Uganda's reliance on Western credit institutions, which frequently impose strict conditions, is lessened by the other funding options that come with being a member of BRICS.
