On September 10, Foreign Minister Cho Hyun met with Uganda's second deputy prime minister, Crispus Walter Kiyonga, at the Government Complex in Seoul. During the meeting, Cho requested Uganda's support for South Korean companies operating in Uganda, according to the ministry. Both countries have made significant progress in nuclear cooperation; in May 2022, Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power was contracted by Uganda's energy ministry to assess a potential site in Buyende region for the nation's first nuclear power plant.
Cho emphasized the need for Uganda to continue backing South Korean firms in the nuclear energy and artificial intelligence (AI) sectors.
In response to Cho's request, Kiyonga stated that he would consider ways to support South Korean businesses, as reported by the ministry.
