@KagutaMuseveni Africans in the Caribbean and indigenous peoples of the Pacific truly are part of our extended African family.
Relocating the OACPS headquarters from Europe to Africa is long overdue. It will strengthen independence and put member states first. Uganda is ready to lead.
Today at State House Entebbe, I welcomed H.E. Moussa Saleh Batraki, Secretary General of the Organization of African, Caribbean and Pacific States (OACPS). I told him that Africans in the Caribbean and the indigenous peoples of the Pacific are part of our extended African family. I also support the proposal to relocate the OACPS headquarters from Europe, it would strengthen the Organisation’s independence and better reflect the interests of its member states. Uganda is ready to support this effort and deepen cooperation with the OACPS.
@KagutaMuseveni Value-addition in coffee is among the 10 key priority areas of investment where President Museveni has been encouraging investors to work together with Uganda’s Ministry of Trade. So this is a great milestone.
I met a delegation from Nonda Coffee Park led by Mr. Tonny Miiro Kibuuka, who briefed me on their plans to establish a coffee processing and value addition facility. I welcome this investment because it is exactly what we have always been advocating for.
Uganda should not continue exporting raw coffee. We must add value before export so that we create jobs, increase household incomes and earn more foreign exchange.
The government will support this initiative and mobilise our coffee farmers to produce more in preparation for the increased demand. I congratulate them and wish them good luck.
@mkainerugaba@PaulKagame@FirstLadyRwanda Excellent discussions and warm hospitality show that our two brotherly countries are moving forward together. Congratulations to both Presidents for providing enlightened leadership.
A strong Uganda-Rwanda relationship means more prosperity for all of us.
@mkainerugaba@PaulKagame@FirstLadyRwanda Great to see Uganda and Rwanda strengthening ties. Unity between our nations is the foundation for lasting peace and prosperity in the region.
I would like to thank H.E. @PaulKagame, @FirstLadyRwanda and my counterpart General Mubarakh Muganga for the very warm welcome our delegation received in Rwanda. We had excellent discussions about our bilateral relations. Uganda-Rwanda relations are stronger and warmer than ever. We thank our two Presidents H.E.@KagutaMuseveni and H.E.@PaulKagame for their enlightened leadership of our two brotherly countries. Murakarama.

“Patriotism is ‘mwooyo gwa Uganda’—not ‘mwooyo gwa ggwanga’. ‘Mwooyo gwa ggwanga’ refers to looking at things on the basis of tribe. Be patriotic and promote a spirit that is for Uganda if you are to make a contribution.”-President Yoweri Museveni
