Speaking to journalists in Kampala, the Ambassador said this would promote Uganda and potentially increase its tourism revenue.

“This will guarantee New Delhi Mission makes a significant contribution in ensuring Tourism contributes towards the Country’s ambition to grow the economy 10-fold to USD 500 billion within the next 15 years”. The Ambassador said.
