My wife and I joined the Ambassador of the Kingdom of the Netherlands to Uganda, @FrederiekeQ, and other dignitaries last evening to celebrate King’s Day in honour of His Majesty King Willem-Alexander. It was a wonderful occasion to reflect on the strong and growing partnership between Uganda and the Netherlands, one built on mutual respect, shared values, and a forward-looking vision for economic transformation. Over the years, our cooperation has evolved into a modern trade-not-aid partnership, with impactful collaboration in agriculture, energy, private sector development, and human capital. From dairy and improved seed systems to aquaculture and renewable energy projects such as the Orio mini-hydropower project in Mitooma, these initiatives are creating real opportunities for our people and strengthening Uganda’s position in global value chains. We also appreciate programmes like the Orange Knowledge Programme, which continue to equip Ugandans with critical skills for a competitive future. We would wish to further deepen our partnership and explore new opportunities in infrastructure, tourism, science, technology, and innovation. I congratulate the people and Government of the Netherlands on this important national day and wish His Majesty good health and continued success.
