The Resolution day, also known as Republic Day, is a national holiday commemorating the Lahore Resolution, passed on March 23, 1940, making Pakistani an islamic state.
In his speech, the tourism minister called on Pakistanis to set up hotels, inns and other recreational centers in Ugandan game parks.
Kiwanda further encouraged the Pakistani community to make more innovations and produce things in Uganda as opposed to importing them.
