Feature: China revitalizes Uganda's aging airport to carry more int'l traffic

Li Qinpu (L, Front), a project manager of China Communications Construction Company (CCCC), and Ayub Sooma (R, Front), director for airports and aviation security at Uganda Civil Aviation Authority, talk at the newly-constructed cargo center of the Entebbe International Airport in Entebbe, Uganda, on Oct. 6, 2021. On the tarmac at Uganda's Entebbe International Airport on the shores of Lake Victoria, Chinese technicians and their Ugandan counterparts put final touches on the aprons as planes fly in and out. The 70-year-old airport, opened in 1951 by the British colonial masters, refurbished in the early 1970s and now under upgrading and expansion works financed by China, is Uganda's major gateway to the world.
