President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has arrived in Tanzania for a two-day working visit expected to reinforce Uganda and Tanzania’s strategic partnership through high-level talks on trade, regional integration, infrastructure development, and security.

The visit, at the invitation of Tanzanian President Dr. Samia Suluhu Hassan, comes as the two neighbouring countries continue to strengthen economic cooperation and coordinate on key regional priorities within the East African Community (EAC).

During the visit, the two counterparts are expected to hold bilateral discussions focusing on expanding trade and investment, accelerating cross-border infrastructure projects, enhancing peace and security cooperation, and advancing regional integration.

The two leaders are also expected to explore new areas of collaboration aimed at deepening the longstanding diplomatic and economic ties between Kampala and Dodoma.

President Museveni arrived at Julius Nyerere International Airport in Dar es Salaam on Thursday, August 5th, 2026, where he was received by Tanzania’s Minister for Foreign Affairs and East African Cooperation, Ambassador Mahmoud Thabit Kombo (MP), Uganda’s High Commissioner to Tanzania, Col Fred Mwesigye, and other senior government officials.

The Ugandan leader inspected a Guard of Honour before being treated to a cultural performance and later proceeded to his official residence in Dar es Salaam.

At Entebbe International Airport, President Museveni was seen off by Vice President Jessica Alupo, Minister for the Presidency Milly Babalanda, and the Head of Public Service and Secretary to Cabinet, Lucy Nakyobe.

The visit underscores the growing strategic relationship between Uganda and Tanzania, whose cooperation spans trade, transport, energy, security and regional integration initiatives under the East African Community.
