The Algerian Minister of Agriculture, Rural Development and Fisheries, Yacine El-Mehdi Oualid, received the State Minister for Cooperatives in the Ugandan Cabinet, Frederick Ngobi Gume, with whom he discussed opportunities and prospects for cooperation between the two countries, according to a statement issued by the ministry.
During the meeting, held on Wednesday at the ministry’s headquarters in the presence of the Ugandan ambassador, both sides discussed ways to enhance bilateral trade and further elevate cooperation to match the distinguished bilateral ties.
In this regard, both sides reviewed the potential of Algeria and Uganda to significantly strengthen their economic partnership and trade, particularly through the import and export of agricultural products of animal and plant origin, such as coffee, cocoa, milk powder, dates, fruits, and vegetables, as well as fresh and processed goods that could help improve the bilateral trade balance, added the same source.
Furthermore, both sides agreed to invite economic operators from Algeria and Uganda to participate in economic and trade events hosted in either country, and to organize a business forum aimed at exploring investment opportunities and fostering mutually beneficial partnerships, concluded the ministry.
