EAM Jaishankar recently concluded his Uganda visit. In a podcast of his recently concluded Uganda visit, Jaishankar said that India and Uganda have very converging perspectives which are based on the solidarity of the south-south cooperation between the two nations.

Terming the African nation of Uganda “noteworthy”, the External Affairs Minister in his podcast said that he has seen new intensity in interactions between New Delhi and Kampala and that even as India look towards the development side, it has a clear purpose with regard to expanding its economic interactions with the African country.

“When I came here to Kampala two days ago, I had the privilege of meeting President Museveni almost immediately. I had interaction with the minister of foreign affairs, and defence, the minister of trade, the minister of water resources and many of their colleagues,” Jaishankar said in the podcast that was posted on the external affairs ministry’s Twitter handle.

Marking a milestone in Indian-Uganda bilateral cooperation, Jaishankar inaugurated the first foreign campus of India’s National Forensic Sciences University in Jinja, Uganda on Wednesday. (ANI)
