Feature: 10 years on, Uganda reaps benefits from China's BRI


KAMPALA, Oct. 17 (Xinhua) -- From the remote hydropower plant in its mid-northern district of Kiryandongo to the hub airport in Entebbe, 36 km southwest of the Ugandan capital of Kampala, the East African country has witnessed the positive changes brought by China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), which marks the 10th anniversary this year since its inception.

Uganda is one of the many African countries that are seeking to fast-track development and reap benefits from the BRI, especially in sectors of energy and infrastructure, complemented by other programs like the South-South Cooperation framework and the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation.
