Algeria’s state-run oil and gas firm Sonatrach, played host recently to Uganda’s president Yoweri Museveni. During his four-day visit to Algiers Museveni was given a tour of Sonatrach’s refinery in the capital city of Algiers.
The Algerian government has agreed to send a team of experts to Uganda to work with the East African country’s Ministry of Energy on various aspects of oil refinery and oil pipeline construction.
Museveni commended the achievements of the government and people of Algeria in the oil and gas sector which have contributed to the development of the country and said that Uganda looks forward to cooperate, pattern and borrow the good practices of the Algerian oil industry as the country starts its own oil and gas production in the near future.
