Congratulations to @BoeingAirplanes and @UG_Airlines for a commitment for new 787 Dreamliner and 737 Max aircraft. This agreement highlights American excellence in innovation, manufacturing, and aviation, enabling @UG_Airlines to modernize its fleet and expand its route network. We are excited that Boeing aircraft will continue flying to and from the Pearl of Africa!
In a tourism world where destinations are competing for niches,
Uganda's biggest advantage is that we don't fit into just one category.
You can trek mountain gorillas, cruise the Nile, experience over 50 cultures, climb snow-capped mountains, and enjoy world-class wildlife, all within a single journey.

SECRETARY RUBIO: "I have always believed the best foreign assistance programs are the ones that end. They end because the country that you're helping no longer needs it."
SECRETARY RUBIO: "I also want to remind everybody that the United States government is not a charity. We are not here to play social worker, we are here to win."
@FoxNews The American Doctor was in the DRC which is the country west of Uganda. He did not treat any ebola patients in Uganda. There is currently no outbreak on Ugandan territory. Please make this clarification.
This is #Uganda’s truth about #Ebola
A Congolese national continues to undergo treatment after testing positive.
She was linked to the first case of a Congolese man who’d travelled to the country for treatment, died and was confirmed to have had the virus.
His body was sent back to the DRC.
Health workers and others who interacted with the two cases were traced and are now in isolation- being monitored.
None of them has so far tested positive for Ebola.
There are no local infections.
Meaning, no Ugandan or person living in Uganda has Ebola.
That’s our truth.
#Uganda#Ebola
1- 2 Infections
2- Both Congolese.
3- One died and repatriated. The other is in hospital being treated.
4- Health workers, relatives etc who interacted with them have been tracked by our experienced experts and isolated for treatment.
5- There’s ZERO local infection.
6- We know Ebola. Life goes on with added vigilance.
At State House Entebbe, I met Mr. Nick Checker, the Senior Bureau Official in the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of African Affairs, who is representing President Donald Trump at tomorrow’s swearing-in ceremony, together with his delegation.
I emphasized the need for value addition and industrialisation across Africa. We cannot continue exporting raw materials such as coffee, oil and minerals without processing them. Value addition is crucial for expanding Africa’s GDP, creating jobs and increasing the purchasing power of our people.
I welcome him to Uganda and wish him a fruitful stay.
Today I joined colleagues Ambassador's to the United Nations , Senior US officials and heads of international agencies at Trade over Aid launch event from the New York stock exchange. The basic premise of this initiative which Uganda is a founding member, is that each nation must chart its own own path to progress by mobilizing its human, financial and natural resources and create a pro- business and pro-growth environment. Development aid must promote national self reliant growth. Thank you @USAmbUN for spearheading this important initiative.

I was glad to join @USAmbUN in the launch of the “Trade Over Aid” initiative. At @DFCgov, we believe that nations must lead their own economic development, that mutually-beneficial private sector partnerships build durable, self-sustaining economies, and that exporting the American free-market system drives economic growth, strength, and goodwill worldwide.
"Chairman, a country without reserves is not sovereign. The potential of this Bill to destabilize Uganda’s balance of payments is our primary concern as a central bank. For example, last financial year the overall balance of payment surplus was USD 1.5 billion. That’s how we were able to increase our reserve coverage by USD 1.5 billion. Today as we speak our reserves are close to USD 6 billion. Why? Because these inflows have been coming in. The moment you tamper with these inflows here, we risk running down our reserves, and that is economic disaster for a country.” Governor Atingi-Ego on the Protection of Sovereignty Bill 2026 in an appearance before Parliament today.
