THE Russian foreign minister has said his country wants to cooperate in developing the education, science and technology sectors in Uganda.
Sergey Lavrov was yesterday meeting President Yoweri Museveni currently on a working visit to Moscow.
Museveni and Lavrov discussed how to strengthen bilateral cooperation between the two countries, according to a release from State House.
Lovrov said Museveni’s visit would strengthen the ties between the former Soviet Union and East Africa in general.
He said he would encourage investors from the Russia to invest in Uganda and in East Africa through its regional economic blocs.
The minister said Uganda uses a lot of Russian equipment in different areas like agriculture and the army.
He encouraged the country to have direct contacts with Russia in order to avoid third parties. This, he said, would enable proper management, quality supplies and accountability.
Museveni said Uganda has some Russian investments in cotton and other agro-processing areas, but invited more Russians to invest in the country.
The President invited his Russian counterpart Dmitry Medvedev to visit Uganda.
The meeting was attended by the ministers of foreign affairs, Sam Kuteesa, energy and mineral development, Hilary Onek and of State for defence, Lt. Gen. Jeje Odongo.
