Recently, External Affairs Minister (EAM) S Jaishankar said India and Uganda have very converging perspectives which are based on the solidarity of the south-south cooperation between the two nations. He said that out of many conversations during his visit to Uganda in April, future cooperation between India-Africa, and especially India-Uganda was an important subject. Calling the African nation of Uganda "noteworthy", the External Affairs Minister in his podcast said that he has seen new intensity in interactions between New Delhi and Kampala and that even as we look towards the development side, India has a clear purpose with regard to expanding its economic interactions with the African country. "When I came here to Kampala, I had the privilege of meeting President Museveni almost immediately. I had interaction with the minister of foreign affairs and defence, the minister of trade, the minister of water resources and many of their colleagues," Jaishankar informed in the podcast that was posted on the EAM's Twitter handle.
