KAMPALA — The Acting Chinese Ambassador to Uganda, Dr. Chen Huixin has lauded President Yoweri Museveni’s wise leadership that, he noted, has created a conducive environment that has attracted investors into the country.

Dr. Huixin hailed the relationship between China and Uganda and pledged to further strengthen cooperation in the mutual development areas.

The Chinese envoy was speaking during the commissioning ceremony of the China-aided Machining Manufacturing Industrial Skilling Center that is based at Namanve in Mukono District.

The US$30 million project is funded by the Government of China and is designed to combine industrial skills training with apprenticeship to garner the necessary capacity to create employment to trainees.

The production facility is also intended to make high quality precision machine parts and accessories.

President Yoweri Museveni also hailed the People’s Republic of China for the cooperation and support to Uganda in different projects such as electricity generation, modern railway, airport building, the Entebbe Express way, the underground ICT backbone as well as different agricultural undertakings, among others.

“I thank the Chinese Government for this support and other support for other things in the country,” he said.

President Museveni said that the Chinese Government has done a great job in supporting the Chinese private sector, which has in turn, boosted the Chinese Investments in Uganda thereby creating import substitution base, export promotion as well as job creation in our country.

He explained that the first time he went to China in 1989 he held talks with the leaders and introduced to them Uganda’s need to have a facility for food processing as well as that for metal work which the Chinese Government fully funded. He, therefore, asked Ugandans to fully utilize the Namanve-based facility by developing skills that will help them achieve prosperity.

“Africans have slept enough. You should wake up and don’t miss out. Use this important facility because it can make many things including designing and machines,” he noted.

Mr. Museveni said that the reason Africa lagged behind was because the continent did not take part in the machine use revolution (industrialization) only remaining in manual labour for so may years.

He commended Prof. Charles Kwesiga, Executive Director of Uganda Industrial Research Institute, for following up the project to its reality.

The Minister of Finance and Economic Planning, Hon. Matia Kasaija, thanked the President and the government of China for prioritizing industrialization.

He said that the project is one of many that will go a long way in solving the challenge of unemployment especially among the youth. He pledged his Ministry’s support for the facility to realise its full potential to help Ugandans.

Prof. Kwesiga, on his part thanked the President for the support especially in securing the Chinese grant that has seen the project reach the phrase it is on now. He commended the team that has seen the project reach its fruition stage.
