On the margins of the Third Russia–Africa Summit yesterday, I held constructive discussions with H.E. Georgy Evgenievich Borisenko, Deputy Head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation, on the longstanding relations between Uganda and the Russian Federation. We exchanged perspectives on strengthening our diplomatic engagement and exploring avenues for enhanced cooperation in areas of mutual interest. Uganda remains committed to fostering constructive partnerships that promote shared priorities and deliver meaningful benefits to our peoples.

The Summit provides an important platform to strengthen diplomatic engagement, deepen strategic cooperation, and explore avenues for mutually beneficial partnerships between Uganda, Russia, and the wider African continent. Uganda’s participation, under the leadership of H.E. Vice-President Jessica Alupo, representing H.E. President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, reaffirms our commitment to constructive dialogue, international cooperation, and partnerships that advance shared development priorities.

Last night at State House Entebbe, I met European Ambassadors and investors. I was pleased to learn that European investors are increasingly investing in Uganda, particularly in hydropower and other infrastructure projects. I have always told our European friends that Africa is a huge market because of its rapidly growing population. This is an opportunity we must all take advantage of. On tax incentives, I explained that our 10 year tax holiday for eligible manufacturers is meant to encourage investment, production and job creation. As our people produce and earn more, Government also collects revenue through consumer spending and income taxes.

🇸🇴🇺🇬 DID YOU KNOW? Somalia’s story begins with four remarkable facts: Mogadishu is its capital; the UN estimated its population at 19.7 million in 2025; it covers 637,657 km²; and its coastline stretches about 3,333 km. For Uganda, understanding this neighbour is the first step towards discovering new connections in trade, tourism and investment. 📍 Mogadishu, Somalia | 20–23 October 2026 #DidYouKnow #SomaliaUganda #ECD #VisitUganda #B2BMatchmaking #AfCFTA #AfricanTrade #InvestInUganda #VisitUganda
