The Deputy Speaker of Parliament, Thomas Tayebwa has underscored the contribution of the Republic of South Korea in maintaining peace and security in Africa, something he believes is key in economic growth on the continent.

Tayebwa was speaking recently in Kampala at a function organized by the Korean Ambassador to Uganda, Park Sung Soo where the Korean community in Uganda marked the National Day and Armed Forces Day. The Deputy Speaker was accompanied by his wife Anita Rukundo Tayebwa at the colourful function in Kampala.

“As we commemorate this National Day and Armed Forces Day, I commend the Republic of Korea for supporting peace in Africa, through its participation in peacekeeping operations in South Sudan and the UN Mission for the Referendum in Western Sahara (MINURSO). In South Sudan, Korean Corps of Engineers participated in infrastructural improvements in the areas of Bor, Jongeli Province which will have a significant impact on South Sudan’s Economy.” Said Tayebwa.

He said that Uganda, a beacon of peace and security in the Great Lakes region believes that such international support to regional mechanisms can provide useful and effective tools for maintaining peace and security.

“In this regard, Uganda is pleased with the recent election of the Republic of Korea for a two-year term, 2024-2025, as a non-permanent member of the United Nations Security Council. We hope for closer collaboration during this period on the African peace and security matters on the Council’s agenda, especially the Great lakes region and the Horn of Africa.” He added.

The Deputy Speaker hailed the over a half century of productive diplomatic relations between Uganda and Korea with key political, economic and historical benefits resulting from the best principles of mutual respect, democracy and shared interests.

According to Tayebwa, the two nations will look forward to cementing diplomatic, economic and other strategic relations during the upcoming Second Political Consultative Meeting between and also at June 2024 Korea-Africa Summit in Seoul which President Yoweri Museveni will attend at the invitation of his counterpart Yoon Suk-Yeol.

“We welcome the upcoming Korea – Africa Summit slated for June, 2024 as yet another opportunity to discuss areas pertinent to the continent and identify new avenues for both technical and financial support, that are critical to leapfrogging of the economic development of Africa, in line with the AU Agenda 2063” noted Tayebwa.

Some of the key aspirations of the agenda 2063 include; a prosperous Africa based on inclusive growth and sustainable development; an integrated continent based on the ideals of Pan-Africanism and vision of African renaissance; an Africa of good governance, democracy, respect for human rights, justice and the rule of law and, a peaceful and secure Africa.

Concerning developmental cooperation, Tayebwa commended the Republic of Korea’s strategic partnership with Uganda in the areas of increasing sustainable production, productivity and value addition in key growth opportunities, and enhancing human capital development, which directly correspond to the country’s National Development goals.

The Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) has been the Asian country’s magic bullet in creating significant impact working with various sectors and groups in Uganda, according to the Deputy Speaker.

Some of the key outputs of the strategic partnerships by the two countries include the development of the fruit processing factory in Soroti Industrial Park which is addressing value addition in our agriculture sector and, the $864m partnership between Korea Project on International Agriculture (KOPIA), Uganda Center and National Agricultural Research Organization (NARO) to support Elgon farmers to boost the growing of high-yield animal pastures.

Tayebwa also hailed the Korean government for agreeing to join hands with President Museveni in his drive on mindset change with an aim of lifting all households from subsistence to commercial agriculture.

“I take this opportunity to invite Korean companies and individuals to take advantage of the numerous opportunities available in Uganda and invest especially in Uganda’s strategic sectors of agriculture and agro-processing, oil and gas, minerals, ICT, Human resource development, tourism and infrastructure development” noted the Deputy Speaker.

In his remarks, Korean Ambassador to Uganda, Park Sung Soo said that his country which is now the 11th largest economy globally and the 7th importer in the global economic community continues to look forward to doing business and economic cooperation with Uganda.

He requested the Government of Uganda to ensure a more trade and investment friendly business environment in terms of legal and institutional aspects, hence promising more cordial deliberations when President Yoon Suk Yeol hosts African heads of State at next year’s summit.

“In this context, recently President Yoon sent his special envoy to Uganda, a key partner country in the East African region, and extended an invitation to H.E President Museveni to this historic event. H.E Museveni accepted the invitation. I take this opportunity to express my gratitude and joy” said Park Sung Soo.

Commenting about the National Day and Armed Forces Day, Ambassador Soo said that Koreans on October 3, commemorate the beginning of their nation and history more than 4300 years ago. At the same celebrations, the Koreans mark the last day of the long Thanksgiving holidays called “Chuseok” which means the autumn night with a full moon according to the lunar calendar and this comes with a sense of guarantee of material abundance and relaxation of body and mind.

For the nearly 6 decades of diplomatic ties between Uganda and Korea, Ambassador Soo said there have been good relations that have witnessed modest trade and investment achievements and relatively big-sized development cooperation.  He also said that there is a lot that still needs to be done.
