It was a great honor as the Ugandan flag and that of UAE were raised and national anthems played to symbolize the warm brotherly relationship Uganda and UAE enjoy.

Dubai Expo 2020 is a World Expo currently hosted by Dubai in the United Arab Emirates, which was officially opened on the 1st of October 2021 and is to run for 182 day with over 192 participating countries, Uganda inclusive.

Speaking at the Expo, President Museveni said that Uganda is the right place at the right time for any serious business people looking for profitable investments.

“We are here to talk about profit, how do you maximize profit. Because you can’t do business when you are making losses. So, if you want to make profits, Uganda is the right place at the right time to invest in,” President Museveni said.

In order to make profits continuously, President Museveni said one needs three elements i.e. to produce goods or service, the market and infrastructure.
“To make sure that the goods or service you have produced reaches the market, you need infrastructure. If you want business to succeed, these three are vital,” he said.

Mr. Museveni told his hosts that Uganda has a highly educated population amongst whom are scientists who can produce knowledge-based services.
On the side of the market, President Museveni revealed that Uganda has a market population of 42m people and is estimated to be 100m in 30 years.
“Uganda is not the only market we have. When you produce in Uganda, you can sell in all African countries, we have agreements to sell in USA, Europe, China etc. therefore the market is there,” he said.

President Museveni commended the UAE government for organizing the Expo event where the world can meet and discuss prosperity. He commended the visionary leadership of the forefathers of United Arab Emirates whose contributions have seen UAE growing economically.

“The UAE is a challenge to Africa because they have turned a desert into a center of affluence simply because of the vision of their leaders. They turned geography into an advantage,” he said.
President Museveni also commended the UAE for the seriousness in handling Covid19 pandemic and added that they are following his line of every one must test.

“Yesterday when I arrived, they took me for COVID test. In Africa, sometimes we say, ‘big’ people should not be checked. But I was happy to note that every one here must test,” he said.

Speaking at the event, H.E Sheikh Nahayan Mubarak Al Nahayan, the Minister of Tolerance in the United Arab Emirates welcomed President Museveni to UAE and thanked him for sparing time to come and attend the function in person.

“Your Excellency, its an honor to be with you today to cerebrate the National Day of Uganda the pearl of Africa. We are pleased to have your presence here”. Sheikh Nahayan said.
