"Throughout this visit, I will actively engage with senior government representatives of the People’s Republic of China, with a focus on strengthening collaboration in trade, investment, and security.

Mudavadi's foreign engagements
The trip to China comes days after Mudavadi attended the 19th Non-Aligned Movement Summit in Uganda, representing the government.
In Uganda, he held talks with Algerian delegation headed by the Foreign Affairs Minister Ahmed Attaf.
Since taking over the Foreign Affairs docket from Alfred Mutua last year, Mudavadi has been involved in several official visits outside the country to represent the President.

Today's milestone agreement reflects a robust commitment to future cooperation and fostering friendship between our nations. We look forward to fruitful collaborations across diverse areas for mutual benefit," the Prime CS stated.
