Ugandans showcase beauty, culture at independence fete in China

Ugandans living in China celebrated their country's beauty, including tourism and culture as they marked 62nd independence anniversary.

The two-day back-to-back events started on October 12, three days after the October 9 official anniversary date, at Kempinski Hotel in Beijing and later climaxed Sunday at the Great Wall of China.

Foreign Affairs Ministry in the Sunday October 13 statement said over 300 people attended the Saturday event but the numbers increased to over 50,000 on Sunday.

Uganda’s Ambassador to Beijing Ms Oliver Wonekha, and the Consul General of Uganda in Guangzhou Amb Judyth Nsababera jointly hosted the events that were officiated by Amb Xue Bing, the special Envoy for Eastern Horn of Africa.

“Uganda, the Pearl of Africa offers experiences unlike anywhere else. Our incredible wildlife, including the ‘Big Five,’ combined with our rich natural landscapes and welcoming people, make Uganda a top destination for Chinese travelers seeking adventure, culture, and relaxation,” Amb Wonekha said.
