President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni on Tuesday met a high-level delegation from the Emirates Airlines who paid a courtesy call on him at State House, Entebbe.
The delegation which was led by the Emirates Country Manager for Uganda Mr. Mohamed Ahmed Taher and accompanied by the Emirates Station Manager, Ms. Maureen Kabure, included Emirates officials selected from different countries who are on a trip in Uganda to identify “Must visit areas of tourist attraction” to be marketed to the world as the Emirates Airlines prepares to celebrate its 25 years of operations in Uganda.
The officials included Van Ty Trinh from Vietnam, Eddie Sutadharma from Indonesia, Lydia Liu and Paules Chen from Taiwan, Pramod Rane and Manoj Chaudhari from India and Hani Abdullah from Kuwait.
Others were Shawn Selwyn Dias from Bahrain,Melki Jihed from the United Arab Emirates and Alexandra Lee Schumann from the United Kingdom.
President Museveni warmly welcomed the delegation to Uganda, highlighting the uniqueness of the country’s beautiful climate that he attributed to the country sitting on Equator.
“There are about 3 countries in the whole world that have a unique climate because of the altitude and because they are on the Equator and Uganda is one of them. Some areas in Uganda are over 1,000 meters above sea level and some are on above 5,000 meters above sea level and have permanent snow. The other country that has the same climate I think is Ecuador in South America,” he said.
Additionally, President Museveni encouraged members of the delegation to visit all areas of tourist attraction in Uganda, citing the National Parks and many others.
