He arrived one day before his 49th birthday celebration, which he announced would be celebrated in Kigali, the capital of Rwanda.
The delegation that came with him includes Norbert Mao, the Ugandan Minister of Justice, Maj Gen (Rtd) Jim Muhwezi, the Interior Minister, and Andrew Mwenda, the Spokesperson of MK Movement.
Upon arrival in Kigali, Gen Muhoozi was received by Maj Gen Willy Rwagasana, the Commander of the Republican Guard, and Brig Gen Ronald Rwivanga, the Spokesperson of Rwanda Defence Force (RDF).
Gen Muhoozi recently announced plans to replace his father upon the end of his term in 2026.
Last year, his birthday celebration was held in Kampala, Uganda, and was attended by President Paul Kagame.
Before his visit in April 2022, President Kagame had not been in Uganda since 2018 for discussions on the strained relations between both countries.
Last year, Gen Muhoozi was involved in the process to restore relations to normal and warned Rwanda’s dissidents that they have no place in Uganda.
Since then, there have been positive developments, including the reopening of Gatuna border and all land borders between the two countries.
Gen Muhoozi’s visit to Rwanda comes after the Rukundo Egumeho Thanksgiving Concert held in Kabale town last week to celebrate the reopening of the Uganda-Rwanda border.
During the event, the General attended a number of activities, including laying a foundation stone for the construction of the Museveni-Kagame Market at the border point and officiating a friendly football match between Gicumbi F.C. from Rwanda and Kigezi Select from Uganda.
