The Vice Chancellor, Prof. Barnabas Nawangwe (C) along side other officials in China.

I have completed my tour of China with a very busy Thursday schedule including intensive meetings at the Guandong Centre for Chemistry Research based at the South China Normal University, the School of Artificial Intelligence and Data Science of the SCNU, and with President Cheng of the University. I also held meetings at Super Pack Batteries with Chief Operations Manager Tony Li and at the Headquarters of GDSN Company whose CEO Huo Jaixiong is the President of the Guangdong Chamber of Commerce in Uganda. Finally I met with Amy Luo from the Zhongshan Ophthalmic Centre at the Sun Yat Sen University. We agreed with all the parties on areas of collaboration and exploration of opportunities to establish research labs in battery development (for electric cars and motorcycles as well as domestic energy storage), artificial intelligence and data mining, and optometry.

Vice Chancellor, Prof. Barnabas Nawangwe and President of Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center signing Memorandum of Understanding as other officials witness

I signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the President of the Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center at Sun Yat-sen University. We have agreed to collaborate in advancing ophthalmology at our two institutions. Remarkably, one in every six ophthalmologists in China is a graduate of the Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center, making it a leading global research hub in this field. I look forward to the fruits of our collaboration.
