President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has called on British and European investors to expand their investment footprint in Africa, highlighting the continent’s enormous potential for economic growth, trade, and shared prosperity.
The appeal was made on Thursday, July 2, during a meeting with the United Kingdom’s Minister of State for International Development and Africa, Baroness Chapman, at State House in Entebbe. 
According to a statement from the President’s Press Unit (PPU), the discussions focused on strengthening the long-standing partnership between Uganda and the United Kingdom, with particular emphasis on boosting investment and economic cooperation.
