Uganda commemorated its 62nd Independence Day on Oct. 9, marking the day the country gained independence from British colonial rule. Despite the peaceful transition to independence, Uganda’s post-independence political history was marked by coups, dictatorships, contested elections, and civil wars. Egypt has highlighted the importance of strengthening its relations with African countries, particularly those in the Nile Basin. The two countries have also agreed to cooperate on regional issues, including combating terrorism and resolving regional crises. The two leaders discussed regional and continental situations and ways to enhance joint cooperation and development efforts among African countries.
