As China’s influence increases in Africa, Uganda minister to India: Don’t lament, come reclaim space
Speaking during “Africa Day” event at Vibrant Gujarat Summit, Okello, Uganda’s Minister of State for Foreign Affairs (International Affairs), said Indians had arrived first but “ignored a beautiful Africa” — the Chinese came subsequently and took it over.
He said, “We cannot continue talking, lamenting and complaining about the Chinese — you cannot… The governments are stable and there are opportunities. There are 54 countries, and its is there for you for the taking. If you continue complaining and looking back, you will lose the opportunities — the train will leave, you will continue standing on the platform, and the train will not come back.”
