Uganda’s Chief of Defence Forces (CDF) and Senior Presidential Advisor on Special Operations, Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba, has expressed deep appreciation for Rwanda’s hospitality following his recent visit, highlighting the importance of strengthening military relations between the two nations.

After concluding his visit, Gen. Muhoozi took to X to extend his gratitude to Rwandan President Paul Kagame, First Lady Jeanette Kagame, and Rwanda Defence Force (RDF) Chief of Defence Staff, Gen. Mubarakh Muganga.

“I want to thank H.E. Paul Kagame, First Lady Jeanette Kagame, and my counterpart General Mubarak Muganga for the warm reception my delegation and I received in Rwanda. God bless the fraternal relations between Uganda and Rwanda,” he posted.

His message reinforced the significance of military diplomacy in fostering regional stability and collaboration.
Gen. Muhoozi’s visit, which took place from March 20 to March 22, 2025, included high-level security engagements aimed at strengthening defense cooperation between Uganda and Rwanda.

He was officially seen off by Gen. Mubarakh Muganga, the Commander of the Republican Guard, Maj. Gen. Willy Rwagasana, and RDF Spokesperson, Brig. Gen. Ronald Rwivanga.

During his stay, Muhoozi visited the RDF Senior Command and Staff College in Nyakinama, Musanze District, where he delivered a lecture on peacekeeping and security in Africa.

He also held discussions with senior RDF officers and Ugandan military officials on ways to enhance bilateral defense cooperation and address security challenges.

Speaking on the unity between the two countries’ armed forces, Muhoozi stated, “When we combine the strength of our powerful armies, there is no challenge we cannot overcome together.”

His visit, accompanied by top Uganda People’s Defence Forces (UPDF) officials and veteran journalist Andrew Mwenda, is seen as part of ongoing efforts to strengthen diplomatic and military relations between Uganda and Rwanda.
