Uganda’s State Minister for Trade, Gen. Wilson Mbadi, and his Kenyan counterpart have held a meeting aimed at addressing trade barriers between the two countries.
The discussions focused on easing the movement of goods and people across the border, in an effort to restore smoother trade relations.
Kenya and Uganda’s trade relationship has become strained over the past five years due to ongoing disputes over products ranging from dairy and eggs to diesel.
According to data from Uganda’s Ministry of Finance, Kenya remains the country’s largest export destination, accounting for an average of 32% of Uganda’s total exports within the East African region.
