Munyonyo – The Republic of Uganda and the Russian Federation have reaffirmed their commitment to deepening bilateral cooperation following a successful technical session of the Uganda–Russia Intergovernmental Commission on Economic and Scientific-Technical Cooperation, held on October 7, 2025, at Speke Resort Munyonyo.

The meeting — the third session of the Inter-Ministerial Commission — marked a key milestone in the two nations’ long-standing partnership, focusing on implementing previous agreements and identifying new areas of collaboration. Discussions covered trade and investment, science and technology, education, agriculture, energy, health, and defence.

Both delegations expressed satisfaction with the progress achieved so far and emphasised the need for accelerated implementation of agreed projects.

Ambassador Moses Kizige, Uganda’s Ambassador to the Russian Federation, hailed the meeting as a reaffirmation of mutual trust and historical friendship between the two countries.
“Russia and Uganda share a partnership grounded in mutual respect and a commitment to sovereign development,” Ambassador Kizige said.

“We take pride in the long-standing friendship between our peoples and look forward to expanding cooperation in trade, innovation, and scientific exchange. As Uganda celebrates its Independence Day, we reaffirm our unwavering support and warm congratulations to our Ugandan partners.”

The technical session also comes as Uganda consolidates its new role as a Partner State in BRICS, a status it attained on January 1, 2025. This partnership gives Uganda access to the New Development Bank and expanded opportunities for trade, infrastructure financing, and technology transfer within emerging markets.

Officials from both sides noted that trade between Uganda and Russia continues to grow steadily. Russia’s exports to Uganda include cereals, paper, transport machinery, and industrial goods, while Uganda exports agricultural and value-added products to the Russian market.

The two countries also acknowledged the strong historical foundation of their cooperation. Diplomatic relations were established on October 13, 1962—just four days after Uganda’s independence—making Russia one of the first nations to recognise Uganda’s sovereignty.

In recent years, high-level engagements have reinforced this bond, including visits by Russia’s Foreign Minister H.E. Sergey Lavrov and Uganda’s Vice President H.E. Jessica Alupo. The two Heads of State maintain regular dialogue, providing strategic guidance for future collaboration.

Working groups under the Commission held detailed consultations to strengthen cooperation in education, agriculture, health, industrial innovation, and scientific research. The outcomes of these discussions will form the basis for a new framework agreement aimed at improving coordination and fast-tracking the implementation of joint projects.

Delegates from both sides commended the spirit of partnership that characterised the meeting. “This session renews momentum in our cooperation and demonstrates our shared vision for peace, stability, and prosperity,” one participant said.

The technical session will culminate in a ministerial meeting between representatives of the Russian Federation and the Republic of Uganda on October 9, 2025, where new agreements are expected to be formalised.
