Uganda’s President Yoweri Museveni held talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin on the sidelines of the Russia-Africa Summit currently ongoing in St Petersburg. During these talks, President Museveni acknowledged the longstanding diplomatic relationship between Russia and Uganda that stretches over 60 years, acknowledging how both countries have collaborated in many areas ranging from security to education. However, he proposed new areas of cooperation like exploration and refinery between both countries, urging Russia to stop importing raw materials from Africa for processing in Russia. Instead, he suggested that Russia should consider working with African countries to enable the processing of the resources in the continent towards boosting their economies After the talks, President Museveni took to Twitter, now X, to share what he discussed with Putin with his 3.1 million followers and the rest of the world. His tweet reads: “On the sidelines of the ongoing summit, I held bilateral talks with President Putin. My main proposition to Russia is that they discourage, by policy, the importation of raw materials from Africa and instead work with Africans to add value to their raw materials at source. In that regard, I have invited Russia to take interest in a number of business opportunities in fields of oil and gas, agriculture, production, the pathogenic economy, industry and space science. On the military side, Uganda has managed to become an island of peace in our part of the world, due to our cooperation through procurement of equipment from Russia over the years.“ ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ✅SUPPORT US /AFFILIATE LINKS Use this affiliate link for your purchases at #MIZIZI International - Support our channel - PayPal: newafricachannel(at) Follow us on Instagram - Follow us on Twitter - Join us on Facebook - ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ✅COPYRIGHT DISCLAIMER The New Africa Channel doesn't fully own some of the materials compiled in its videos.
