The High Commissioner welcomed her guests to the premiere, and said:
I am delighted to welcome you here this evening for this very special event – the Ugandan premiere of the new Bond film, SPECTRE
In the UK where it has just opened, SPECTRE has broken all records to become the biggest film opening in UK box office history, showing the enduring huge popularity of the Bond series.
The UK has a huge amount to offer, with world-class universities, ground-breaking research, and as a global business centre. The UK is a world leader in creative industries like music, fashion, design and – as we will see tonight – film. The UK offers visitors unforgettable experiences, breath-taking landscapes and iconic attractions.
As the reception drew to a close, guests made their way into the cinema auditoria for the Ugandan premiere screening of SPECTRE, after which the film went on general release.
