Azerbaijan and Uganda set to team up on mining operations and infrastructure improvement projects
In a significant development, Uganda's Foreign Minister, John Mulimba, recently visited Azerbaijan to discuss potential cooperation in various sectors. The discussions, held on Thursday, took place at Azerbaijan's Energy Ministry and were reported by the pro-government media outlet, Report.
The topics covered in the discussions included prospects for cooperation in the petrol and gas sector, mining, and hydropower. John Mulimba expressed a keen interest in utilizing Azerbaijan's experience to build additional hydroelectric power plants, given Uganda's rich water resources, suitable for the construction of hydroelectric power plants, with several waterfalls along the Nile River.
In addition, Mulimba expressed a desire for an agreement on cooperation and joint activities in the field of mineral exploration and production, as well as infrastructure development. Uganda is known for its mineral reserves, including gold, lithium, rare earth metals (specifically cobalt), iron ore, and other minerals. However, no specific details about the agreement were provided in the report.
The Ugandan delegation, which was involved in the discussions, also showed interest in learning from Azerbaijan's expertise in the petrol and gas sector. The delegation did not disclose any specific timeframe for the implementation of any projects between Uganda and Azerbaijan.
The Azerbaijani official coordinating negotiations on cooperation between Uganda and Azerbaijan regarding mineral exploration, production, and infrastructure development was not named in the provided search results.
This visit and the subsequent discussions mark a potential step forward in the relationship between the two countries, opening up opportunities for mutual growth and development in various sectors. Further updates on the progress of these discussions and any resulting agreements are awaited.
