[Hon. Haruna Kyeyune Kasolo @HonKyeyune]

This morning, I officially took over the office of Minister of State for Foreign Affairs in charge of Regional Affairs from Hon. John Mulimba.

I extend my sincere appreciation to Hon. Mulimba for his service and contribution to strengthening Uganda’s engagement within the region. The foundation laid during his tenure provides a strong basis upon which we shall continue to build.

As I embark on this new assignment, I do so with a deep sense of duty and commitment to advancing Uganda’s foreign policy objectives, strengthening regional integration, fostering peaceful coexistence among our neighboring countries, and promoting opportunities that enhance trade, investment, and shared prosperity across the region.

Congratulations Honorable @HonKyeyune hoping to see you soon in Riyadh….🎉🎉

Light-hearted laughter and camaraderie filled the room, as the senior management of the MoFA, led by PS Bagiire Vincent Waiswa, held a farewell luncheon for the three outgoing Ministers of Foreign Affairs, Odongo Jeje Abubakhar (2021–2026), Oryem Henry Okello (2005–2026), and John Mulimba (2021–2026).

The trio, who have been at the helm of the Ministry, have seen it through a number of milestone developments and transitions, including the actualization of the Ministry’s shift in priorities from traditional diplomacy to economic and commercial diplomacy.

In his remarks, the Permanent Secretary, Mr. Bagiire Vincent Waiswa, thanked the outgoing ministers for their dedicated service and leadership, noting that they had overseen significant achievements that strengthened the Ministry’s institutional capacity and service delivery. He emphasized that the true success of any institution lies in continuity and the lasting foundations established by its leaders.
