The meeting was attended by ambassadors representing both permanent and non-permanent members of the United Nations Security Council, including Somalia, Denmark, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Pakistan, Russia, the United Kingdom, France, the United States and other member states.

He also highlighted the country's investment in traditional medicine research, calling for partnerships to commercialise locally developed medicines.

The appointment comes after the President nominated Kisekka to replace the previous minister-designate for the position, Dr. Lawrence Muganga, following concerns over his cited multiple citizenships, which contradict the Uganda's Constitution.
