ISRAEL has pledged to strengthen its cooperation with Uganda in trade, investment and exchange of manpower.
The Israeli ambassador, Emmanuel Seri, said this at the 57th anniversary of Israel’s independence at the Sheraton hotel, Kampala on Wednesday.
He said Israel enjoyed a good relationship with Uganda.
“As part of our effort to strengthen our relationship, it’s our intention to strengthen the area of trade, which remains an important part of our cooperation and significant in increasing the volume of Uganda’s exports to Israel,” Seri said.
He said Uganda continued to export products like flowers, fish products and exchanges in medicine.
Seri said Israel would soon bring two doctors to Uganda for free eye treatment.
The minister of State for Foreign affairs, Henry Okello Oryem, commended the government of Israel for the good relations and support in modernisation of agriculture, road construction, and industrial cooperation.
