The Vice Chancellor, Prof. Barnabas Nawangwe (R) and Prof. Dennis Lo Yuk-ming (L) with his congratulatory gift.

I have congratulated Prof. Dennis Lo Yuk-ming on his inauguration as the 9th Vice-Chancellor and President of the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK). I was delighted to meet fellow Vice-Chancellors of the premier African universities that are members of the Worldwide Universities Network (WUN) at the WUN Presidents Forum in Hong Kong, including Prof. Francis Peterson of the University of Pretoria, Prof. Nana Aba Appiah Amfo of the University of Ghana and Prof. Mosa Moshabela of the University of Cape Town. Makerere University is a proud member of the WUN and we benefit immensely in the joint research programmes with partner leading research universities globally.

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.
