Uganda’s President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni is set to visit Mombasa County on Wednesday, March 27, 2019.
Museveni will be received by his Kenyan counterpart President Uhuru Kenyatta at the Moi International Airport before the two Head of States hold a State reception at the airport.
In a press statement released on Monday evening by State House spokesperson Kanze Dena, the presidents will hold bilateral talks with their respective delegates at State House, Mombasa.
“His Excellency Kaguta Museveni President of the Republic of Uganda will be in the Coastal City of Mombasa for a two-day State Visit to Kenya starting Wednesday, 27th March 2019,” read the statement it part.
“President Uhuru Kenyatta and President Kaguta Museveni will lead their respective delegations in bilateral talks at State House Mombasa before holding a joint press briefing.”
During the two-day State visit, the Head of States will also tour the port of Mombasa.
The visit by the Ugandan President comes barely a month after the two attended the African Union (AU) summit in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia and the leadership meeting in Kigali, Rwanda.
Uganda has been a close economic partner to Kenya and the recent discord between Rwanda and Uganda has been in contradiction to President Kenyatta’s plea for regional integration in East Africa.
