On November 10, 2016, Chinese Vice President H.E. Mr. Li Yuanchao met with his Ugandan counterpart H.E. Mr. Edward Ssekandi, who attended the China International Friendship Cities Conference 2016 in Chongqing.

Li said that China-Uganda relations have enjoyed sound and stable development since the diplomatic relationship was established more than 5 decades ago. China has designated Uganda as an important country for China-Africa production capacity cooperation, and is willing to help Uganda to serve as model by taking the lead to achieve industrialization as an inland country of Africa. We hope to unswervingly develop the friendly relationship so as to benefit the two peoples.

Ssekandi said that Uganda cherishes its friendship with China and appreciates the support and assistance from China in Uganda’s development. Uganda is ready to work with China to further promote Uganda-China friendship.

CPAFFC President Mme. Li Xiaolin, Vice Foreign Minister Mr. Zhang Ming and Vice Party Secretary of Chongqing Municipal Committee Mr. Zhang Guoqing were present at the meeting.
