In a bi-lateral meeting between the two foreign Ministers held at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Dr Zarif emphasized that science-based Iranian companies are prepared not only to export their products to Uganda but also to transfer the technologies for use in Uganda and the EAC, which, he acknowledged, had a combined population of over 170 Million.
