PRESIDENT Yoweri Museveni has held discussions with the chief executive of the Japanese company that imports Uganda’s Nile Perch into Japan.
Junya Nakano, the general manager and chief executive officer of Stolt Cocoon, told Museveni that Uganda’s Nile Perch was in great demand in Japan.
He said 50% of all the Nile Perch imported into Japan was from Uganda.
Nakano was accompanied by his trade manager Robert Thorsteinsson.
The meeting took place early this week in Tokyo, according to a statement issued by State House, Kampala yesterday.
The statement said Museveni also had another meeting with the President of Japan International Bank for Co-operation, Kyosuke Shinozawa.
Museveni and Shinozawa discussed financial support to Japanese investors into Uganda and advisory banking services in the framework of the Uganda-Japan co-operation.
Museveni also held talks with the chairman of Ashinaga Foundation of Japan, Toshio Tamai, who showed the President a model plan of the Rainbow House, a project his foundation is putting up at Nansana near Kampala to cater for HIV/AIDS orphans.
Museveni thanked Tamai for the humanitarian support his foundation had extended to orphans in Uganda.
Museveni later held talks with the Irish minister for development co-operation, Tom Kitt, who also called on him at his hotel residence. They discussed Irish development assistance to Uganda.
They also talked about how the developed countries could further assist the developing countries to access their markets.
Museveni later in the evening held bilateral talks with presidents Benjamin Mkapa of Tanzania and Joachim Chissano of Mozambica at Ursaka Hotel in Tokyo.
