President Park wraps up Uganda trip and heads to Kenya

대통령, 우간다에서 유의미한 북핵 성과 거두고 케냐행
Let's kick things off this Monday evening
... in the
African continent.
President Park Geun-hye wrapped up her visit to
Uganda just over an hour ago... and is now heading to
Kenya... for the final leg of her tour of
East Africa.
She brings with her several notable achievements made in
Kampala.
Our Song Ji-sun is traveling with the presidential press corps and she filed us this report before taking off for
Nairobi.
President Park leaves Uganda with an invaluable achievement toward reining in
North Korea's nuclear ambitions.
After summit talks,
Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni vowed to "disengage" from all military and security cooperation with
Pyongyang... and vowed to comply with the UN sanctions on North Korea.
"Uganda has been friendly to North Korea, but it's starting to fully implement the UN sanctions on
Pyongyang and it will encourage other
African nations to participate as well."
During her
Africa trip, President Park has been seeking support for the global efforts to sanction North Korea -- first at the
African Union headquarters in
Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, and now in Uganda, once a longtime ally of North Korea.
In making the move, Uganda put practical and economic cooperation with
Seoul before its ties with Pyongyang, as demonstrated in its push to adopt Seoul's
Saemaul Undong initiative to modernize its rural communities.
President Park also attended the launch of an agricultural training center near the Ugandan capital of Kampala.
It's the first of its kind in Africa, and will provide training on Saemaul Undong for
100 community leaders a year, who can then apply the lessons back in their hometowns.
"President Park is now off to Nairobi, the last stop on her three-nation East Africa tour.
Business will be the focus in Kenya, as it's the biggest economy in the region and functions as a transportation and logistics hub.
Song Ji-sun,
Arirang News, Kampala."
