“I received H.E President Paul Kagame, the President of the Republic of Rwanda at State House Entebbe this evening,” President Museveni tweeted.
“I also held bilateral talks with H.E President Paul Kagame on a number of issues, especially on regional peace, stability and cooperation. I welcome H.E Kagame to Uganda.” he added.
President Kagame later attended a State Banquet hosted by President Museveni at State House in honor of the 48th Birthday Celebrations of General Muhoozi Kainerugaba.
Gen. Muhoozi has been instrumental in driving the normalization of ties between Rwanda and Uganda, traveling to Kigali twice this year to hold talks with President Kagame, aimed at removing stumbling blocks that have stood in the way of the relations between the two countries.
