At Mpondwe boarder, we met with the Provincial MOH colleagues of North Kivu, DRC, to strengthen cross-border collaboration against Ebola. Uganda extended response efforts into Congo to bring Ebola care closer to affected communities in Congo, as patients crossing into Uganda for treatment risked spreading the virus. This proactive approach has helped prevent further imported cases into Uganda while extending support towards ending the Ebola outbreak in the DRC.

I welcome the inclusion of Ugandan passport holders into South Africa's Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) system. Eligible travellers can now apply online for short-term visits of up to 90 days via https://t.co/dh0kO5GrR4. No physical visits to their mission or visa centre is required. This process is faster, more convenient and reliable. This is a practical and welcome result of our strong bilateral cooperation. I thank the two foreign ministers of our countries for quickly working towards this goal. Ugandan and South African friendship and co-operation remains strong. Mwebare.
