The Independent Uganda: You get the Truth we Pay the Price
President Yoweri Museveni has hailed the Korean people for their discipline, hard work and the development of their human resource through education that has seen the nation rise to one of the richest countries in the world.
At a luncheon at State House Entebbe on Sunday, Museveni said Uganda can learn a lot from South Korea, and there is a great potential for co-operation.
” We can buy from and sell to one another. Uganda, with a population of 38 million people, that will be about 100 million by 2050, is, moreover, part of the huge African continent with a current population of 1.25 billion people. By 2050, the population of the African continent will be 2.5 billion people.
