BEIJING, April 24 -- China and
Uganda enjoy a long-standing friendship and are ready to cooperate
broadly, senior officials of the ruling parties of the two countries
emphasized as they met in Beijing Tuesday afternoon.
Luo Gan, member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the
Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, met with Secretary
General Amama Mbabazi of the National Resistance Movement (NRM) of
Uganda in the Great Hall of the People in Beijing Tuesday afternoon.
Mbabazi is heading an NRM delegation to China from April 21 to 29.
Mbabazi, also minister of security, met with officials of the Chinese
government and Communist Party during his stay in Beijing. The two
sides exchanged experience on governance and building up a ruling
party, which Mbabazi said is crucial for Uganda to sustain rapid
economic growth.
Uganda has been one of the fastest growing economies in Africa in recent
years. Its efforts to restructure the economy and develop government
capability have won commendations from international organizations
such as the World Bank.
During the meeting with Luo, Mbabazi said he hoped China would increase
investment in Uganda in areas such as resources development,
industry and infrastructure.
Luo said China is ready to boost bilateral cooperation to bring benefits
to the people of both countries.
Trade volume between China and Uganda has been growing at a double-digit
rate over the past few years.
Since China and Uganda established diplomatic links in 1962, the two
countries have maintained friendly relations. Mbabazi has visited
China several times. During his current trip to China, he will visit
the coastal economic hub Shanghai and southern boom town Shenzhen,
as well as Beijing. He will visit hi-tech companies, fish farms and
small-sized enterprises.
