The Yaroslavl region in Russia is looking to strengthen ties with Uganda, with a focus on agricultural trade and cooperation in areas such as shipbuilding, mechanical engineering, chemical production, energy, and education. The region is particularly interested in importing coffee and cocoa beans from Uganda. Uganda is also interested in training specialists from various industries and is open to signing cooperation agreements with the universities in the Yaroslavl region. Tourism could also become a point of contact between the two regions.
