On behalf of the United States, I congratulate the people of Uganda on the 60th anniversary of independence and the great progress that has been made in the country since then. Over the years, the people of the United States and Uganda have cooperated for the benefit of their countries, especially on public and global health. We also appreciate Uganda’s role in peace and security in the region, by participating in peacekeeping operations and its policy of accepting refugees.
The United States looks forward to many more years of mutually beneficial cooperation with Uganda.
