Dynamic Security Group

[Yoweri K Museveni @KagutaMuseveni]

Later, I welcomed my brother, H.E. Félix Tshisekedi, who has joined us for tomorrow’s swearing-in ceremony.

We held productive discussions on security, trade, infrastructure and petroleum cooperation between our two countries, including peace and stability along the common border in North Kivu and Ituri. We also reviewed the progress of key road projects that are important for trade and regional integration.

I commend both sides for signing agreements that will directly benefit our people. African governments should not frustrate wananchi with unnecessary barriers to trade and movement. These agreements are a step in the right direction.

I thank President Tshisekedi for bringing a strong delegation . Merci beaucoup, Votre Excellence.

I would like to thank the Government of Egypt and particularly the Egyptian Armed Forces for the quick response to our request for FMD vaccines. The 3 million vaccines we received yesterday at a low price is only the first consignment. More will be coming soon. I thank Egypt for its spirit of brotherly cooperation.

I want to take this opportunity to thank the thousands of people from Uganda, and from outside the country who sent me birthday wishes. I appreciate all the love and support. It is very heartening. Today, Charlotte and our youngest daughter joined soldiers of SFC in planting 50 trees. As a wise man once said 'The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is today'. We all have an obligation to protect our environment by combating deforestation. Later, we also opened the new Neonatal Special Care Unit at Dr.Ronald Bata Memorial Hospital in Entebbe Barracks. This hospital has developed from a Medical Reception Centre, when we opened it 11 years ago, into a fully fledged General Military Hospital. Once again I thank you all.
