Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni has praised the Indian community for its vital role in the country’s economic growth. Hosting a Diwali dinner at State House, Museveni commended the community’s entrepreneurship, saying Indian businesses have created jobs, developed skills, and boosted government revenue. He recalled the 1972 expulsion of Asians under Idi Amin and said Uganda had since corrected that “historic mistake” by welcoming Indians back. Today, around 35,000 people of Indian origin live in Uganda, contributing significantly to sectors like manufacturing, banking, and agriculture. Museveni’s remarks underscored the enduring partnership between Uganda and its Indian diaspora.
