President Museveni has said Uganda is satisfied with its ties with Russia, especially in relation to cooperation in defence.
In an interview with Russian news outlet TASS, Museveni commended Russia for its assistance to Africa in its fight against colonialism noting that since then, the Russians have proved great allies to Uganda.
According to Museveni, there are new areas in which the two countries can ably cooperate as they take their ties a step further.
The president said Uganda and Russia can exchange different human needs including food, housing, clothing, medicine and communications as it depends on who deals better with what.
Museveni pointed out that the countries should promote cooperation in healthcare as well, especially against the backdrop of the coronavirus pandemic.
Museveni said he is ready to attend the forthcoming Russia-Africa summit set for July in St. Petersburg.
