President Museveni and his Senegal counterpart, Macky Sall, have called for continued collaborations on a number of issues including economic, political, tourism and natural resources extraction and management.
President Sall, who is in Uganda for a two-day official visit at the invitation of Museveni was yesterday hosted at State House Entebbe where he thanked the Ugandan president for his good leadership.
He asserted that his visit was consistent with traditional African hospitality.
President Museveni directed the responsible ministers in Uganda to initiate and finalise negotiations on all outstanding issues of common interest with emphasis on value addition and enhanced cooperation in the oil and gas sector, following the discovery of significant quantities in both countries.
The two presidents expressed concern that the level of bilateral cooperation was still low and that not much has been achieved since the last bilateral cooperation agreement that was signed in 1997.
At a global level, the two heads of state pledged their unwavering support for a peaceful resolution of the Russia-Ukraine conflict and called for more constructive engagements and continued dialogue from both parties with support of the international community.
