The minister of state for industry Michael Werikhe has urged Ugandans to embrace South Sudan's entry into the East African Community (EAC). 

South Sudan which is the newest country in the world joined the EAC this week during the heads of states summit in Arusha, Tanzania. 

Werikhe assured Ugandans that South Sudan's citizens will match with the rest of the region with time. 

"They are bound by the principles that govern the integration so the hostility will cease or reduce as a result of that" Werikhe said. 

Werikhe says that a bigger community, means a bigger market for Ugandan products.
