Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>President Museveni last evening held bilateral talks with his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, on the sidelines of the second Russia-Africa Summit in Saint Petersburg.<\/p>\n

During the meeting in Putin\u2019s native city, Museveni outlined areas of cooperation with Russia that include oil exploration, nuclear power energy, fertilizers, the pathogenic economy, electric batteries, and space science that would enable Uganda to have its own dedicated satellite.<\/p>\n

The Ugandan leader also proposed to the Kremlin to discourage the West\u2019s policy of importing raw materials from Africa. Instead, Museveni wants European powers to \u201cwork with the African governments to add value to products at source as this would transform the economies of the continent in a very short time; from low middle income to high middle-income status.\u201d<\/p>\n

Uganda remains one of Russia\u2019s key partners with a clean diplomatic relationship that stretches over 60 years.<\/p>\n

\u201cRussia remains committed to strengthening ties in the economic, political, security, trade and humanitarian areas with Africa,\u201d Putin noted adding that \u201cthe good relationship between Kampala and the Kremlin has seen trade cooperation increase by five times in the last 6 months compared to last year.\u201d<\/p>\n

Russia is also set to double the education scholarships to the Ugandan students and set up about two modern mobile laboratories that can diagnose many diseases including epidemics in the East African country.<\/p>\n

President Putin further said that he was happy that Uganda and Russia have close positions on the international arena-based on commitment to shaping a just world that is accommodative to everyone.<\/p>\n

Visibly satisfied, Russian President Vladimir Putin stood shoulder to shoulder on Friday with a score of African heads of state as the summit neared end.<\/p>\n

About the Russia-Africa Summit <\/b><\/p>\n

The two-day Russia\u2013Africa Summit started on July 27 is the highest-profile and largest-scale event in Russian-African relations, aimed at bringing about a new level of mutually beneficial partnership to meet the challenges of the 21st century.<\/p>\n
