President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has commended the National Organizing Committee (NOC) for successfully organizing the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) and G-77 +China Summits that were held in Uganda recently.
“I thank Nakyobe and her team as well as the super supervisor Nakadama, Nabbanja and everybody who was involved. Thank you very much,” President Museveni said.
The President made the remarks on Wednesday as he hosted the NOC members at State House Entebbe. The NOC was headed by Ms. Lucy Nakyobe, the Head of Public Service and Secretary to Cabinet.
President Museveni thanked God for always blessing Uganda, citing it as one of the reasons why the summits were a success.
“First of all I thank God for the blessings which he gives Uganda including this one but also I can think of four letters- “VIPP” and these are Vision, Ideology, Patriotism and Prioritization. These are practices which have guided the NRM ever since the student days,” he said.
“Now by the NRM rejecting this sectarianism of religion, tribe, race; that is how you get all the Sudhirs, the Chinese, Indians, the Arabs, the Africans of all these countries who are here. So, you can see that the vision plays a role in bringing all these people here.”
President Museveni also encouraged the committee and Ugandans at large to utilise the benefits of the summits to contribute to the development of the country.
