Uganda is set to host the NAM Midterm Ministerial Review Meeting from October 13–16, 2025, at Speke Resort Munyonyo under the theme “Deepening Cooperation for Shared Global Affluence.” Uganda hosted the 19th Summit of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) Heads of State and Government in January 2024.

The high-level gathering will bring together Ministers of Foreign Affairs from NAM Member States, along with Observer Countries and Organisations, to review progress on key global issues and reaffirm the Movement’s collective voice in shaping international peace, development, and justice.

According to Mr Vincent Bagiire Waiswa, Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Uganda is in the final stages of preparation to ensure the success of the conference.

“The Government, through its various Ministries, Departments, and Agencies, is in advanced stages of preparation to ensure a successful conference,” Bagiire said. “We shall host delegations from the Member States, Observer Countries, and Observer Organisations of the Non-Aligned Movement.”

The meeting will focus on a wide range of global concerns affecting developing nations, including geopolitical tensions, poverty eradication, reform of global governance, and humanitarian crises.

Among the top issues on the agenda are the relevance of NAM amid rising global tensions, the centrality of the Palestinian question, and the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. The ministers are expected to call for the full implementation of UN General Assembly Resolution ES-10/27, adopted in June 2025, which urges an end to the blockade of Gaza and the facilitation of humanitarian assistance.

“The Movement will continue to defend its longstanding position on Palestine and reaffirm its call for peace, justice, and respect for international humanitarian law,” Bagiire noted.

Other priorities include reaffirming NAM’s commitment to multilateralism, the reform of international financial institutions, and greater representation of Africa in a restructured UN Security Council in line with the Ezulwini Consensus and Sirte Declaration.

The midterm review will also emphasise the need for a revitalised global partnership for sustainable development, focusing on implementing the Addis Ababa Action Agenda, the Sevilla Commitment, and Sustainable Development Goal 17.

“Poverty eradication remains at the heart of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development,” said Bagiire. “The discussions in Kampala will focus on how NAM countries can work together to promote industrialisation, trade, investment, and technology transfer as engines of inclusive growth.”

The upcoming meeting will set the stage for the 20th NAM Summit scheduled to take place in Uzbekistan, where the Movement will address regional security and socio-economic development with a coordinated response.

The ministers are also expected to express appreciation for the leadership of H.E. President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, who currently chairs the Movement, and his role in strengthening NAM’s voice on global platforms.

“Under President Museveni’s leadership, Uganda continues to champion the principles of the Non-Aligned Movement — independence, solidarity, and cooperation — at a time when global unity and mutual respect are more critical than ever,” Bagiire added.

Final consultations on the Outcome Documents to be adopted during the meeting are currently ongoing among member states.

Given the nature of the event, authorities have announced controlled access and temporary traffic adjustments in and around Munyonyo during the conference period.

“We call upon the public to support the Government in ensuring the success of the conference by complying with traffic control measures that will be put in place,” Bagiire appealed.

The Non-Aligned Movement, founded in 1961, is the world’s largest grouping of states outside any formal alliance, representing 120 member countries that collectively advocate for peace, sovereignty, and equitable global development.

The Kampala meeting reaffirms Uganda’s growing role as a hub for global diplomacy and a champion for the interests of the Global South.
