Uganda, Russia Deepen Strategic Ties

Uganda and Russia reinforced their partnership at the Third Uganda-Russia Intergovernmental Commission in Kampala, focusing on trade, investment, science, technology, education, agriculture, energy, health, and defense. Both sides pledged to turn dialogue into action, expand bilateral trade, and enhance technological cooperation.
