I received H.E. Monzer Selim, Ambassador of the Arab Republic of Egypt to Uganda, who paid a courtesy call on me as he ends his tour of duty.
I thanked him for his service and contribution to fostering stronger bilateral relations between Uganda and Egypt. I wish him good luck in his future assignments.
This morning at NALI, Kyankwanzi, I lectured a delegation from the Egyptian Armed Forces Staff and Command College on a number of issues, including the Nile Basin question.
I told them that the real challenge of the Nile is not the old colonial agreements but underdevelopment in the tropics, especially the lack of electricity, limited industrialisation and the effects of climate change. The solution is electrification and industrialisation so that we protect the environment and sustainably manage our water resources.
I also shared the historical missions that have guided us: rejecting identity-based politics in favour of nationalism and Pan-Africanism, driving socio-economic transformation and advancing African unity. I was pleased that they visited the Source of the Nile in Jinja and appreciated the beauty of our country. I welcome them to Uganda and wish them a productive stay.

I attended the Egypt-Uganda Business Forum in Cairo alongside H.E. Abdel Fattah El-Sisi.
I couldn’t come to Egypt without seeking opportunities for wealth. Egypt and Uganda have been connected by the Nile since time immemorial, yet our trade remains low, at only $133 million. This figure does not reflect the depth of our relationship. What we lack, and what Egypt can help us attain, is investment capital and entrepreneurship.
Uganda's economic growth is the result of carefully integrating philosophy, ideology, and economic strategies. However, we need further reinforcement. By working bilaterally, Uganda can purchase goods from Egypt, and Egypt can buy from Uganda, thereby engaging the rest of Africa for a larger market.
Happening :Delegates from all African Union member states have today convened at the Commonwealth Convention Centre for the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP) Kampala Summit.
#CAADPKampala25
The Extraordinary Summit on the Post Malabo Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP) will be held from 9th to 11th January 2026 in Kampala, Uganda, under the theme One Voice, One Land.
The Kampala #CAADP Summit is expected to result in the adoption of a 10-year CAADP Strategy and Action Plan (2026-2035), and the draft Kampala CAADP Declaration.
The plan seeks to leverage resources for driving economic growth, enhancing food security, and improving livelihoods while addressing the impacts of climate change, in alignment with the CAADP principles. It aims to achieve this by stimulating investment, fostering partnerships, and
empowering vulnerable smallholders.
