She appreciated Uganda’s collaboration and flexibility in the organization of the JPC. “Our smooth collaboration in the preparations of this meeting gives me advance optimism that this JPC will be a unique success.”

The 11th JPC is a milestone in the bilateral cooperation between the two countries as it demonstrates the renewed commitment that both countries have embarked on to revive historical cooperation, she said, adding, “It is an opportunity to revisit where we stopped in the last ten years and what we must do to regain time and opportunities lost.”

The JPC started with technical sessions, and a meeting of Permanent Secretaries and will be followed up with a ministerial meeting expected to discuss outcomes of the previous technical meetings.
