She reaffirmed that Uganda’s partnership with the United Kingdom continues to thrive — driven by initiatives like the UK–Africa Business Summit that blend diplomacy with practical collaboration.
“The partnership between Uganda and the United Kingdom is stronger today because of such vision-driven collaboration.” – H.E. Nimisha Madhvani
H.E. Madhvani concluded by expressing heartfelt appreciation for Mr. Willy Mutenza — for his leadership, vision, and unrelenting commitment to Uganda’s economic diplomacy and to a more connected, prosperous Africa.
“Thank you, Mr. Mutenza, for your leadership, dedication, and the enduring vision you have shared with both Uganda and the world.”
