President Samia Suluhu of Tanzania made her first foreign visit to Uganda to strengthen bilateral ties between the two East Africa countries.
Media houses noted that going against the norm in Tanzania, she wore a face mask in public.
The meeting took place at Entebbe State House in Uganda and one of the agenda was to finalize talks on East Africa Crude Oil pipeline Tripartite Project Agreement.
It has taken long before the first oil, due to divergent perceptions between us and the oil companies. Initially, I did not favor the idea of the pipeline. My question was: “Why export the oil. Don’t the East Africans need it?” In this, I preferred an Oil Refinery only. pic.twitter.com/EwcJZmQshP
