President Park wraps up Uganda trip and heads to Kenya
- 8 years ago
We begin in Uganda, where President Park is wrapping up the second stop on her tour of East Africa.
During the visit, she racked up several notable achievements in various sectors.
Song Ji-sun gives us a review of the accomplishments from Kampala.
President Park leaves Uganda with an invaluable achievement toward reining in North Korea's nuclear ambitions.
After summit talks, Ugandan President YoweriMuseveni vowed to "disengage" from all military and security cooperation with Pyongyang... and vowed to comply with the UN sanctions on North Korea.
"Uganda has been friendly to North Korea, but it's starting to fully implement the UN sanctions on Pyongyang and it will encourage other African nations to participate as well."
During her Africa trip, President Park has been seeking support for the global efforts to sanction North Korea -- first at the African Union headquarters in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, and now in Uganda, once a longtime ally of North Korea.
In making the move, Uganda put practical and economic cooperation with Seoul before its ties with Pyongyang, as demonstrated in its push to adopt Seoul's SaemaulUndong initiative to modernize its rural communities.
President Park also attended the launch of an agricultural training center near the Ugandan capital of Kampala.
It's the first of its kind in Africa, and will provide training on SaemaulUndong for 100 community leaders,
who can then apply the lessons back in their hometowns.
"President Park will soon be off to Nairobi, the last stop on her three-nation East Africa tour. Business will be the focus in Kenya, as it's the biggest economy in the region and functions as a transportation and logistics hub.
