Kenya values its close friendship with Uganda. That friendship is founded on a common history, a common culture, and common interests.
In years past, we have worked closely together for the prosperity and freedom of our nations.
We look forward to continuing the work that both our nations have already done, together & in concert with the EA Community, the AU & IGAD.
We look forward, too, to even closer integration. I wish President Museveni every success as he serves his nation for another term.
He and Uganda can count on my support, and my friendship, as well as that of their brothers and sisters in Kenya.
