Posted by Ugandan is to construct a $2 million mansion for its embassy in Kigali to strengthen the bilateral cooperation of the two historical allies, according to the Uganda ambassador Richard Kabonero.
Kabonero told APA on Wednesday that the relations between the two states were excellent, noting that getting a permanent home in Kigali is a sign of cementing the long relations among the two peoples.
He said the new embassy is to be constructed in Kigali’s posh residential area of Kacyiru and the structural design is in advanced stages.
The armies of the two former historical allies fought each other three times in the eastern city Kisangani of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Both countries had intervened in the Congo instability.
But leaders from both the military and government of the two countries have been trying to restore their historical ties. Some senior military officers including Rwanda President Paul Kagame fought along side Ugandan leader Yoweri Kaguta Museveni to overthrow the dictatorship of Milton Obote in Uganda.
“We are trying to put aside the Kisangani ghost and concentrate on building an independent and sustainable economy of our two nations,” said Kabonero.
