_____________

The meeting in New York on Sunday, September 21, 2025, saw the vice-president reaffirm Uganda's commitment to multilateralism, peace & sustainable development.

Alupo, who is representing President Yoweri Museveni at the 80th Session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), was paying a courtesy call on Guterres on her first day at UNGA, according to the official X, formerly Twitter, handle of the Uganda embassy at the UN.

During her visit to the US, Alupo also represented President Yoweri Museveni at the Seventh Summit of the Committee of 10 African Union Heads of State and Government on the reform of the United Nations Security Council. The summit convened on the sidelines of UNGA.

During the summit, President Museveni called for urgent reforms in UNGA, saying the time is now for the genuine demonstration of the political will by the five permanent members of the UN Security Council to consent to the full reform of the Council to make it more inclusive, just, equitable, transparent, responsive and democratic.

"We reiterate our demand to rectify the historical injustices against Africa, which should not be perpetuated any longer and for Africa to be prioritised as a special case for adequate representation on the UN Security Council,’’ President Museveni said.

He added that Africa remains steadfast in the demand for the immediate full reform of the UN Security Council and for Africa to be adequately represented in both permanent and non-permanent categories in line with the common African position, adding that any other postponement of the council’s reform process undermines Africa’s interests, the maintenance of international peace and security and global development.
