The Petroleum Authority of Uganda, responsible for regulating and promoting the sector, plays a crucial role in facilitating such advancements and ensuring the country’s energy future remains robust.
The courtesy call concluded on a positive note, with both parties expressing optimism about future prospects and reaffirming their commitment to achieving shared goals. The new leadership at CUL, led by Mr. Liu Xiangdong, is poised to lead the company towards greater success, capitalizing on Uganda’s vast petroleum reserves and contributing to the country’s economic development.
