United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has arrived in Uganda to participate in the 19th Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) Summit and the Third South Summit of the G77+China. Guterres’ visit includes attending events in Kampala and Munyonyo, where the summits are being held.
Uganda, currently chaired by President Yoweri Museveni, is hosting the NAM Summit, with Guterres scheduled to address the plenary session during the event. The Secretary-General was received at Entebbe International Airport by Uganda’s Third Deputy Prime Minister, Rukia Isanga Nakadama, alongside Ambassador Adonia Ayebare.
