Kenya-Uganda joint Ministerial commission focuses on trade and immigration
Trade, investment, customer issues, immigration, customs, energy, and natural resources dominate the debate at the ongoing Kenya-Uganda Joint Ministerial Commission in Kampala. According to officials, ministers of foreign affairs and government representatives will address some long-standing unresolved trade barriers and the facilitation of permits. Meanwhile, President Yoweri Museveni will, according to Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Mr. Bagiire Vincent Waiswa, make a State Visit to Kenya later this week. This occurs during the second session of the Uganda-Kenya Joint Ministerial Commission on Cooperation, currently underway at the Kampala Sheraton Hotel. The JMCs are held biennially on a rotational basis by the Agreement establishing the Uganda-Kenya JMC of 20th February 2014. In 2019, the two countries held the First Session of the Joint Ministerial Commission in Nairobi.
