May the friendship between China and Uganda endure and flourish.
May 14
Today, I met H.E. Mr. Losang Jamcan, the Rt. Hon. Deputy Speaker and Special Envoy of President Xi Jinping of the People's Republic of China, who represented him at my swearing-in ceremony.
I thanked President Xi Jinping and the people of China for the strong and historic friendship between our two countries. Uganda values China's decision to open its market to our products under the zero-tariff arrangement, which will boost trade and investment opportunities for our people.
We also discussed the need for dialogue and peaceful solutions to international conflicts instead of force and confrontation. Uganda and China have continued to enjoy cordial relations for about 70 years now , rooted in mutual respect and cooperation.

Deepening China-Uganda Ties: CDA a.i. Mr. Fan Xuecheng Shares Insights on China’s #TwoSessions and China–Uganda cooperation.
At a seminar hosted by @DWatchCentre on March 17, CDA a.i. Mr. Fan Xuecheng delivered a comprehensive briefing on China’s Two Sessions and the strategic opportunities for Uganda and Africa.
Strategic Takeaways:
①Zero-Tariff Access: China is opening its markets further, granting zero-tariff treatment to ALL African products, directly boosting China-Uganda trade.
②15th Five-Year Plan: New drivers of growth—innovation, green tech, and high-end manufacturing—will create broader cooperation space.
③Global Leadership: China continues to provide solutions to global challenges through the four global initiatives proposed by President Xi Jinping.
Nearly 100 offline and online participants from the Ugandan government, think tanks and media joined the discussion, praising China's role as a steadfast partner in development and global governance.
China and Uganda: Hand in hand for a brighter, shared future!

He further notes that the National People’s Congress (NPC) and the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) are far more than mere domestic events; they establish economic targets and policy priorities that resonate well beyond China's borders.
