Sector ministers from Rwanda and Uganda met to discuss and adopt a report on key areas of cooperation to spur social economic development in the two countries.
The meeting took place Wednesday chaired by Rwanda’s Foreign affairs Minister Louise Mushikiwabo and Uganda’s acting foreign affairs minister Okello Oryem.
Mushikiwabo hailed efforts of the commission,“In less than a year we have done what would have taken years,” Mushikiwabo said urging technocrats, not to despair even when they disagree.
“Where you do not have enough confidence and you disagree, go and consult,” she said and expressed optimism that many of the directives evolved from the ninth session will be implemented.
Oryem noted, “Trade is a key component in our bilateral cooperation, majorly because it is a vehicle and major contributor to economic development. We therefore need to continue our engagement to ensure that we double our efforts in putting in place enablers for trade to flourish.”
