NEWS- The ruling National Resistance Movement Secretary General, Hon Richard Todwong has said the party is ready to boost its bilateral cooperation with the United Socialist Party of Venezuela which is also the country’s ruling party.
Hon Todwong made the remarks ON Monday February 12th during a meeting with the Ambassador of the Bolivian Republic of Venezuela to Uganda, Her Excellency Fatima Fernandes Juarez who called on him at the NRM Party Headquarters during the diplomat’s courtesy visit.
“What we shared with the Venezuelan Ambassador first of all, I congratulated them for having an Embassy in Uganda. They have just been in Uganda for one month and they felt the need to reach out to us and cooperate with the NRM. We are very ready to work together for the good of both ruling parties,” Hon Todwong said.
Secretary General Todwong said that NRM freely welcomes all people and parties that share with it common interests and similar doctrines of leadership under the stewardship of President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, an admired leader world over.
Hon Todwong also requested the Ambassador Fernandes Juarez to encourage Venezuelans to come and explore the beauty and diversity of Uganda as a country.
Ambassador Fernadez Juarez said she admires the courage and good leadership of President Museveni, adding that Venezuelan leadership will closely work with his government as chair of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) to handle issues of international interest.
The NRM External Affairs Director, Maj Awich Pollar who attended the meeting, affirmed the party’s commitment to work with revolutionary parties to develop their countries due to similar ideas and aspirations.
Major Awich noted that it was right and fitting that such a revolutionary visited the NRM party and the benefits of Venezuela having an Embassy in Uganda are many since it deals in oil exploration, an industry Uganda as a country is venturing into and hope to improve the collaborations.
