Museveni, Suluhu sign new energy partnership

President Museveni and his Tanzanian counterpart, Dr Samia Suluhu Hassan, have launched a new chapter in Uganda-Tanzania energy cooperation, following the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MoU) which seeks to accelerate regional petroleum infrastructure, industrialisation and cross-border trade. The agreement, which was signed in Dar es Salaam yesterday, marks the beginning of a broader journey towards building a competitive regional energy market capable of creating jobs, attracting investment and positioning East Africa as a global energy player, a statement released by State House, Uganda, said.
