Meanwhile, Uganda’s outgoing ambassador to Turkey Stephen Mubiru said the missions abroad are intensifying the promotion of economic and commercial diplomacy and conducting targeted promotion of strategic Ugandan products in Turkey.
The government through the ministry of Trade is also set to launch the Uganda-Turkey Industrial Park and Trade Centre in Nakasongola
The park is to be constructed through a partnership between the Uganda Investment Authority and the UPDF’s National Enterprise Corporation.
