Speaking at the Egypt–Uganda Business Forum in Cairo alongside his host, H.E Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, President Museveni declared that his visit was driven by one overriding mission: attracting wealth. The Egypt–Uganda Business Forum attracted about 200 participants under the theme: Strengthening Trade and Investment Cooperation between Uganda and Egypt. Egypt and Uganda are linked by the Nile since time immemorial, but our trade is still too small, only $133 million. What we lack, and what Egypt can help us get, is capital and entrepreneurship,” President Museveni said. President Museveni also thanked President El-Sisi for agreeing to establish a foot-and-mouth disease vaccine factory in Uganda.
