Uganda’s ambassador to Turkey, Agara Olwa, encouraged the Konya businessmen to invest in Uganda. Konya’s Active Businessmen and Industrialists (AKTISAD) hosted the ambassador at a meeting. “Come invest in our country. We have petroleum, tourism, mines, agricultural lands and natural resources. And you have financing. Let us bring these together,” the ambassador said. Olwa went on to say, “Uganda is located in central Africa. With its 35 million population, our country is a member of the East Africa Union. We can therefore access all over the African continent. So we offer many trade opportunities. The Ugandan government offers considerable incentives for private enterprises as well. Uganda is a politically and economically stable country. We are ready to support whoever would like to engage in trade in every way. We hold the raw material needed. Let us bring this raw material with the entrepreneurship and funds Turkey owns. We can provide you any information needed regarding investing.”
