Rwanda, Uganda To Resume Talks Thursday
Rwanda and Uganda are set to hold talks virtually this Thursday with the facilitation of Angola and Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) as the two countries look to resume discussions to resolve matters which have affected their bilateral relations.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation Dr Vincent Biruta confirmed to KT Press that the talks will resume Thursday with the 4th meeting of the Ad Hoc Commission to pave way for the 5th Quadripartite summit following the last one held at Gatuna/Katuna Common Board in February.
Talks between the two countries were expected to resume 45 days after the Gatuna meeting but the New Coronavirus outbreak led to the suspension of all activities.
“It is true we are going to meet,” Dr Biruta confirmed. The Ministry also confirmed that talks will pick up from what had previously been agreed upon.
Following the 4th Quadripartite Summit that was held on February 21 at Gatuna/Katuna Common Border between Rwanda and Uganda, it had been agreed that Kampala would investigate the allegations raised by Rwanda in 30 days and provide a report.
In 15 days, the summit would convene again at the same venue, with the purpose of fully operationalizing the border post, among other things.
