Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>The South Sudan ambassador to Uganda, Mr Simon Juach Deng has described their chairmanship of the East African Community (EAC) as \u201cmomentous\u201d.<\/b><\/p>\n

Last Friday, President Salva Kiir Mayardit ascended to the chairmanship of the EAC, taking over from Burundi\u2019s President Evariste Ndayishimye.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis marks a significant milestone in President Mayardit\u2019s distinguished political career and signals a fresh chapter of cooperation, development, and progress within the regional bloc. With his experience, vision, and dedication, he is poised to steer the East African Community towards even greater unity, development, and prosperity,\u201d ambassador Deng said in a statement issued yesterday.<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cPresident Kiir\u2019s ascension as the chair person of the regional body underscores the bloc\u2019s commitment to fostering unity and collaboration amongst its member states. As an experienced statesman, President Kiir has demonstrated his unwavering dedication to regional cooperation by nurturing peace and stability within his country South Sudan.\u201d<\/p>\n

The envoy is hopeful that President Kiir will prioritise bolstering economic development in the region.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis expertise in East Africa regional affairs and his hands-on approach to governance equip him to spearhead initiatives that will drive economic progress within the EAC,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The EAC was founded in 2000, and currently has eight member states. They are Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi, DR Congo, South Sudan and Somalia, which joined last week.<\/p>\n
