First of all, Chairman Zhang Zhigang reported to the President on the progress of the Sino-Uganda Mbale Industrial Park. He said that the park started a few months ago, but it has achieved a full range of rapid development on both governmental policy communication, on-site infrastructure construction and domestic investment promotion. Since the beginning of the new year, delegations to invest and study in the park have come one after another. They have successfully signed more than ten intentional admission agreements and the results are very encouraging. Then, Chairman Zhang cordially invited the President to participate in the groundbreaking ceremony of the Park held on March 9. The President readily agreed to lead the members of the Cabinet to attend and fully support the construction of the Park, and coordinate all forces to help the development of the Park.

He highly affirmed Tiantang Group’s adherence to localization development, creation of local taxation and employment, and also appreciated outstanding contributions on economic and social development in Uganda made by Chairman Zhang. So Mr. Zhang was awarded the honorary title of “Consul-General of Uganda in Tianjin”, and then H.E.
