High Commissioner of Uganda to India, Joyce Kakuramatsi Kikafunda on April 15 said that India is going to be the voice of the Global South and it will bring her country’s issues to the G20. The Ugandan envoy also termed the recent visit of External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar to her country as beautiful.
“We believe that they (India) are going to be the voice of the South. India is already going to be a superpower. So we believe they (India) know our issues and they will bring them up and they are ahead of some big countries who have forgotten how it was. But we believe India will bring our voices, our issues or problems to the G20,” she said.
India’s National Forensic Sciences University (NFSU) opened its first overseas campus in Jinja, Uganda, in a significant milestone in the bilateral relationship between India and Uganda. NFSU is the first government university of India to open a campus anywhere abroad.
Indian External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar was on a visit to Uganda and Mozambique from April 10-15 to further boost India’s strong bilateral relations with the two African countries. Kikafunda called the bilateral relationship between India and Uganda good and strong, and focused on trade and investment. She also mentioned that Uganda sees India as an elder brother and wants the relationship to continue along with development assistance.
