The President also recalled the close cooperation between Uganda and Tanzania, citing trade, the East African Crude Oil Pipeline, the Murongo-Kyikagate mini-hydro project, roads in Tanzania, the Masaka-Bukoba transmission line and the Standard Gauge Railway, which has reached Isaka and is expected to extend towards Uganda and beyond.
According to Mukula, Uganda believes in the free and orderly movement of people, goods, services, and capital within the framework of regional laws and protocols, stating that it will continue to stand for the dignity of African brothers and sisters because Africa belongs to Africans.
The government cited Objective XIII of the National Objectives and Directive Principles of State Policy, Article 210(d) of the Constitution, and Section 38 of the UPDF Act, which empower the state and the President with parliamentary approval to participate in international peace and security operations.
The statement highlighted that both sides presented updates on steps taken to reduce tensions and advance implementation on the ground. These updates followed earlier consultations held in Washington on March 17th–18th, 2026, which also focused on confidence-building measures.
