President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni Friday, May 17, 2024 morning returned to Uganda after successfully concluding his three-day State Visit to Nairobi, Kenya.

“During the visit, the President held fruitful meetings with His Excellency, William Samoei Ruto, the President of the Republic of Kenya as they discussed matters of mutual interest and explored opportunities for cooperation,” reads a press statement.

The two leaders also engaged in bilateral talks with government officials from their respective governments.

The discussions in general aimed to further enhance collaboration in various sectors, including transport and Infrastructure, trade and investment, immigration, regional integration, peace and security, and the fight against terrorism.

“I am grateful to President Ruto for the invitation to discuss important issues affecting our two nations and East Africa. The agreements we signed during my visit carry the weight of historical context, aligning with our long-awaited missions. Over 60 years ago, Africa gained independence, yet the true depth of our historical mission remained unexplored (Uhuru na Umoja),” President Museveni posted on his X (Twitter) account.
