The meetings, organised by Uganda\u2019s Ministry of Foreign Affairs in collaboration with the Ugandan Embassy in Kigali, are scheduled to take place from April 20 to 22, 2026, in Kampala.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The discussions are expected to bring together representatives from more than 15 ministries, with a focus on reviewing and enhancing cooperation across key sectors of mutual interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Uganda\u2019s delegation will be led by the Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, John Mulimba, while the Rwandan delegation will be headed by the Minister of State in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Dr. Usta Kaitesi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Uganda\u2019s daily NewVision, the meetings will be held at Mestil Hotel in Kampala.
