Speaking at the ceremony, the deputy ambassador of Uganda to China, H.E Fred Mugisha, who was the guest of honor, encouraged the new beauty queen to portray a good image of Uganda through her actions and activities.
The ambassador also tasked her to foster togetherness among the Ugandan community in China.
Henry Kityo Ssemakula who is the President of Ugandans living in China echoed the same message.
The pageant was part of the activities by the Ugandan community in China to usher the New Year. The event held every year also aims at fostering unity amongst the Ugandan community living and operating in China.
The Ambassador urged Ugandans to work together and love one another in order to progress in foreign land. He asked them to emulate ants and build up a strong community.
“As you work, you should ensure you invest back home. Whatever useful knowledge you get from here, you should use it
to develop your home country,” he said.
It was also at the same event that the new President of Ugandans in China, Ssemakula Henry Kityo was sworn in. Ssemakula thanked Ugandans for their trust in him and promised to build the community.
He called upon every Ugandan in China to work with him and also support his programs such as the SACCO where they save money to cater for emergencies and collective development.
