President Yoweri Museveni has said Africa should learn from Europe which has avoided war for the last 60 years and integrated to consolidate its development and economic muscle.
“Europe had difficult times like the 100 year wars, 30 year wars, war of Napoleon, the German war, the First and second World Wars and others. But for 60 years or so, there has been no big war,” Museveni told EU diplomats and their guests at the celebration of the May 9, Europe Day.
The celebrations, which included a cocktail at the residence of the European Union Ambassador to Uganda, Roberto Ridolfi, in Kololo, was also attended by the Speaker of Parliament, Rebecca Kadaga.
“I congratulate you for being a world example in those two aspects of avoidance of war and integration and I wish Africans could learn from you. I congratulate you on Pan-Europeanism,” Museveni said.
