China is among the fastest growing economies world over and it has over the last few years increased its influence within Africa. China’s approach towards Africa and Uganda has largely been to provide credit for huge infrastructure projects.

It is not elaborate in which specific areas China and the Ugandan army are looking to partner.

Gen Muhoozi thanked the government of China for the tremendous support extended to the UPDF in capability development and training.

H.E. Ambassador Zheug Zhuiqiang recalling the recent meeting between H.E President Yoweri Museveni and H.E President XI Jinping at the BRICS summit in South Africa, reiterated his country’s commitment to strengthen the relationship between the two countries’ militaries. He underscored that such is a good example of South-South cooperation.

During their bilateral talks, President Museveni and Xin Jingping discussed trade, infrastructure, electricity generation and railway development.
