Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>The new South Korean ambassador to Uganda, Mr Park Sung-soo, has urged Ugandans to embrace cooperation between the two countries through the Uganda-Korea Friendship Association arrangement.<\/p>\n

During the welcoming ceremony held at the University of East Africa in Kansanga, a Kampala suburb last week, Mr Sung-soo, accompanied by other dignitaries, applauded the association\u2019s effort to foster social-economic growth between the two countries.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are happy to be part of this and recognise the work the association does to grow the cooperation,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He also expressed his desire for more of the Ugandan population to embrace Korean culture and maintain sustainable and mutually beneficial relations.<\/p>\n

The event, which happened on Tuesday commenced with cultural performances from beneficiaries such as New Hope Primary School, cultural troops and the university students, among others.<\/p>\n

The chairman of the Uganda Korea Association, Mr Jackson Ndaula, encouraged a continuous working relationship between the two countries.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are grateful to have benefited from this friendship which started in 1987 on the principle of promoting Korean Uganda relationship. We started out with Korean film week at the National Theatre and there has been evident trade and investment in agriculture as well as support in games such as funding the football tournament,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Mr Sung-soo also acknowledged the constraints in enhancing a continuous effort towards building strong relations.<\/p>\n

\u201cCovid-19 led to postponement of activities for about two years. However, this was inevitable and I am glad your patience towards the cooperation remained.\u201d<\/p>\n

The event, which was themed: \u201cWorking towards a mutually inclusive friendship\u201d, had a number of exhibitors from different institutions and entrepreneurs.<\/p>\n

These showcased Ugandan culture through merchandise that promotes the country\u2019s heritage and creativity.<\/p>\n

The vice chancellor of the university, Mr Emeka Akezia, said this gathering was representative of what can be done through cooperation.<\/p>\n

He commended the purpose of the event as to front internationalism, sharing, and co-operation.<\/p>\n

The administrative secretary at the association, Mr Lawrence Bugembe, said it has greatly impacted the relations between the two states.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn 2014, Ugandan exports to Korea had dropped to 92 percent, which has been reconciled by the association\u2019s effectiveness in promoting trade through business symposiums, availing information on opportunities in Korea to Ugandans, and promoting Korean products in Uganda,\u201d he shared.<\/p>\n

Conclusively, Mr Bugembe added that this initiative has also availed scholarships to Ugandans, donated educational materials such as computers, bags, books and laboratory equipment to Ugandans who have organisational membership.<\/p>\n
