Minister of Defence and Veteran Affairs Hon Adolf Mwesige signed on behalf of the Uganda Government while the Assistant Minister of Defence Hon Maj Gen Emad Mohammed Abdelaziz Helmy Elmasry signed on behalf of the Egyptian Government.

He said both countries have a common interest in protecting the source of River Nile since the lives and the future of people in Uganda and Egypt are hinged on its preservation. “Since its inception, Uganda has enjoyed strong diplomatic and strategic relation with Egypt in different areas. It is therefore important for our countries to have a robust defence system for development and transformation,” Mr. Mwesige emphasized.

Mr. Mwesige also noted that the recent visit by the Minister of State for Defence in charge of Veteran Affairs Dr.  Bright Rwamirama to the Department of Veteran Affairs in the Egyptian Armed Forces was very educational in terms of mapping out a strategy to support UPDF veterans.

Hon. Elmasry expressed sincere thanks and said that the brotherhood between the two countries and the signing of the MOU will enhance the relationship between both countries in the field of military cooperation.

He remarked that Egypt will continue with this relationship so as to ensure mutual benefits. He further appreciated Uganda’s efforts towards deepening this military cooperation since both countries have common goals and promised to implement all articles in the MOU.

The signing ceremony was witnessed by the Minister of State for Defence in Charge of General Duties Hon Col (Rtd) Charles Engola and State Minister for Defence in charge of Veteran Affairs Hon Lt Col (Rtd) Dr Bright Rwamirama.
