In April this year, Uganda partnered with Norinco in a project to establish a comprehensive unmanned aerial vehicle vehicle (UAV) workshop in Nakasongola.
The groundbreaking ceremony for the UAV workshop was conducted by former Minister of Defence and Veteran Affairs, Vincent Bamulangaki Ssempjjja, and NORINCO’s Executive President, Yang Xiaoqing.
The project also provides establishment of a Joint Research and Innovation Centre and an ANFO explosives production line for Kyoga Dynamics, a joint venture between Uganda’s National Enterprise Corporation (NEC) and China Wanbao Engineering Company, a subsidiary of NORINCO.
