Great potential of cooperation between Serbia, Uganda

Belgrade, 30 July 2023

President of the Republic of Serbia Aleksandar Vucic today expressed his gratitude to President of Uganda Yoweri Kaguta Museveni for the fact that his country adheres to the principle of territorial integrity and supports the sovereignty of Serbia throughout its territory in all international organisations, institutions and bodies. which we do the same when it comes to Uganda and all African countries.

At a joint press conference with the President of Uganda, Vucic expressed his gratitude to Museveni for the invitation to the Great Congress of the Non-Aligned Movement, which will be held on 19-20 January 2024 in Kampala.

He stated that Uganda is one of the four youngest countries in the world with enormous potential, and that during today's talks, the delegations of the two countries touched upon issues of concrete cooperation.

According to him, before the end of August, a delegation of our experts will visit Uganda, with at least one or two ministers, to discuss agricultural cooperation, but also strengthening relations in all other spheres, while in the field of defense we can improve existing cooperation.

The President said that "Air Serbia" will focus on Africa in the coming period, and that Kampala can be a place from where we can go further to other African destinations, especially to the south, but also to central and western Africa.

We will try to concretise these agreements in the best way and create cooperation that will suit the citizens of Uganda and Serbia, Vucic said and expressed the hope that by the end of next year a direct Belgrade-Kampala line could be established.

The President of Uganda stated that he had very useful talks in Belgrade, stressing that he came to visit Serbia in order for the two countries to renew cooperation.

He recalled the importance of the Non-Aligned Movement, the excellent relations that the two countries had during the time of Josip Broz Tito, but also the engagements of Yugoslav companies, especially "Energoprojekt", which built a very good infrastructure in Uganda.

Earlier today, a welcome ceremony took place in front of the Palace of Serbia, with the highest state honours, a red carpet, the singing of the national anthems of the two countries and the honour guard of the Serbian Army.

After the reception, a tete-a-tete meeting between Vucic and Museveni was held, followed by plenary talks by the delegations of Serbia and Uganda led by the two presidents.

Also, a Serbian-Ugandan business meeting will be held, where businessmen will be addressed by the presidents of Serbia and Uganda, and the moderator of the plenary part of the meeting will be President of Serbian Chamber of Commerce Marko Cadez.
