This came during talks with his Ugandan counterpart, Henry Oryem Okello, on Monday in the Ugandan capital, Kampala, as reported by the Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs on its official website.
The statement highlighted that Abdel Aaty emphasized the rejection of all unilateral actions that violate international law, while also affirming Cairo’s commitment to developing political and economic cooperation with Uganda and taking advantage of the development project funding mechanism launched by Egypt for the southern Nile Basin countries.
The minister also delivered an Egyptian grant of agricultural equipment and light transport vehicles to a Ugandan non-governmental organization, supporting youth and small farmers, according to the statement.
Abdel Aaty pointed out the readiness of Egyptian companies to contribute to Uganda’s modernization plans, especially in the fields of infrastructure, energy, and pharmaceutical industries, with the localization of part of these industries, in light of the successes achieved in African markets.
The Egyptian Foreign Minister also mentioned the training programs provided by the Egyptian Agency for Partnership for Development, which are appreciated by the Ugandan side.
The statement noted that the Egyptian minister presented aspects of the existing cooperation between the two countries, stressing that respecting international law is the basis for joint cooperation between the basin countries.
