China has pledged its support to Uganda as the country prepares to host the 19th Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) Summit and the 3rd South Summit.

Chinese Ambassador to Uganda, Zhang Lizhong, made this announcement during the handover of 70 SUV cars to the Ugandan government. The Chinese government’s commitment to assist Uganda in these important events highlights the strong bilateral relations between the two countries.

“The handover of the 70 vehicles is the latest example of China’s unwavering support to Uganda,” said the ambassador.

China had previously provided 70 SUV vehicles for the upcoming summits scheduled for January 2024.
“China firmly supports Uganda in hosting the 19th NAM Summit and the 3rd South Summit. A high-level delegation will represent the country to attend the summits,” he added.

The ambassador said the summits will be “a grand event for the developing countries to enhance solidarity and achieve development together, and it will further increase the influence of Uganda in international affairs.”

He pledged continued cooperation between the two countries in various areas and said China supports Uganda in maintaining national stability and exploring development paths according to its conditions.

Musa Ecweru, the state minister for works and transport who received the fleet of vehicles, thanked China for the kind gesture.

Vincent Bagiire, the permanent secretary at the foreign affairs ministry, said the country is expecting delegates from 120 countries for the NAM summit and 134 countries for the South Summit.

“We would like to thank China for giving us these vehicles. China and Uganda have worked on various infrastructure projects. The expansion of our airport (Entebbe International Airport) by a Chinese company will be completed this month,” said Bagiire.

The provision of 70 SUV cars by the Chinese government will greatly contribute to the smooth organization and execution of these international events. Uganda can rely on China’s support as it prepares to welcome delegates from around the world for these significant gatherings.
