Hon. Oryem welcomed the envoy and commended Indonesia for its continued support to Uganda, particularly through scholarship programmes that benefit Ugandan students and civil servants. He also highlighted Uganda’s vast mineral potential, investment prospects, and trade opportunities, urging Indonesian investors to tap into the country’s growing sectors.
“Uganda offers immense potential for mutually beneficial partnerships in minerals, trade, and tourism,” Oryem said. “We encourage more Asian investors and tourists to explore the opportunities our country has to offer.”
The minister further reaffirmed Uganda’s commitment to deepening bilateral relations through enhanced cooperation mechanisms, including the establishment of a Joint Permanent Commission (JPC) to formalize and strengthen diplomatic, economic, and technical collaboration between the two nations.
The engagement marks another step in Uganda’s efforts to diversify its global partnerships and attract foreign investment from Southeast Asia.
