“I don't want to hear that there is poverty in homesteads that have land and yet money is there at the parish level. If you are a minister and I come to your village and people are still suffering, I will sack you. I want to inform everybody that I have been monitoring and I don't want to embarrass mature people. The money is there on the ground; let's use it to get our people out of poverty,” Museveni said.

“With trailblazers like YPA, our young people can create millions of jobs and opportunities back home for themselves rather than flock out of the country to work as maids and offer unskilled labour in what are sometimes indecent and very dehumanizing conditions abroad,” Museveni said.

President Museveni reaffirmed the government’s stance on value addition, stressing that Uganda remains focused on ending the export of unprocessed minerals in order to create jobs, spur industrial growth, and increase domestic revenue generation.

“Jobs will not be a problem. In our refinery in Nigeria, we employ people from many nationalities, and East Africans will also benefit from this project,” Dangote noted.

Serdarow further briefed President Museveni on Turkmenistan’s economic potential, highlighting the country’s vast natural gas and oil reserves, which have positioned it as one of Central Asia’s major energy exporters.

Whether Gagan Gupta’s model succeeds may ultimately depend not only on investment capital, but on Uganda’s ability to build the infrastructure, accountability, and policy stability needed to turn economic ambition into measurable public impact

Museveni said Uganda is ready to cooperate with Gabon in agriculture and value addition, highlighting Uganda’s progress in processed exports such as coffee, tea, dairy products and honey.

Petroleum Authority of Uganda organises oil and gas expos in accordance with Regulation 5 of the Petroleum Exploration, Development, and Production National Content 2016 which mandates the Authority to organise conferences and other educational fora such as seminars, symposia and training to promote national content in Uganda's oil and gas sector.

Dumba further argued that the agreement was never approved by DP’s top organs, including the National Executive Committee, National Council, or party delegates, insisting that it remained a personal arrangement rather than a formal party pact.

United States looks forward to strengthening long-standing relations with Uganda in trade, investment and regional security cooperation.
