Eritrean President Isaias Afewerki has concluded his 3-day State visit to Uganda.
The Eritrean head of state has recently came under scathing criticism by regional leaders over his alleged logistic support for Al-Qaeda backed al-shaban Islamist terrorist in Somalia.
Afwerli’s visit to Uganda has some significantly positive political dimension after the recent meeting of Igad held in Addis Ababa expressed concern over his alleged indulgence in terrorist activities in Somalia.
Among those regional leader who had expressed concern was President Mwai Kibaki of Kenya, who is considered to be a moderate and reserved in his handling of crucial diplomtic issues.
Afwerki did not attend the Igad consultative meeting, though Eritrea is a member
President Afewerki, who was in the country at the invitation of President Yoweri Museveni, held bilateral talks with his host during which the two leaders discussed bilateral issues between Uganda and Eritrea centering on regional peace and security, trade and bilateral cooperation, among others.
The Eritrean leader also visited a number of industrial establishments in Kampala that included Quality Chemicals which manufactures anti-retroviral drugs (ARVs), the Dairy Corporation and Roofings Limited that specializes in the manufacture of building and roofing materials.
