Uganda has renewed its push to position itself as a global tourism destination, with President Yoweri Museveni using the Pearl of Africa Tourism Expo to pitch the country’s climate, biodiversity and political stability to investors and international buyers.
Tourism remains one of the world’s leading economic sectors, contributing about 10.3 per cent of global GDP before the outbreak.
The talks centred on trade, renewable energy, fish farming, regional security, and the management of the River Nile.
The new law, softened after economic warnings, still gives Kampala broad powers to police foreign-backed political activity.
Analysts speculate that Uganda is seeking better trade deals and wants to be in Trump’s good books.
