Ambassador Fred Mwesigye Meets Tanzania Railways Leadership to Advance SGR Connectivity Talks 🇺🇬🤝🇹🇿 On 16th March the High Commissioner of Uganda to Tanzania, Col (RTD) Fred Mwesigye, met with the Director General of Tanzania Railways Corporation, Machibya Masanja, at the Uganda High Commission in Tanzania to discuss the development of the SGR infrastructure following the recent MOU signed between Uganda and Tanzania. Mr. Masanja was accompanied by Mr. Pierluigi Bartoloni a boardmember of ITS Engineering based in Italy and Mr. Hans-Georg Lindinger from Switzerland and Mr Jack Lee of DeruMann Plantagenet GmbH. In his remarks, Mr. Masanja emphasized that Uganda and Tanzania are interested in partnering and conducting feasibility studies for the proposed SGR connection between Dar es salaam/Tanga Isaka to murongo - Kigagate Mpondwe rail SGR Connection. He further emphasized that such Infrastructure projects would enhance Economic Development and Regional Integration in East Africa. He highlighted the country’s position as a key transport connector between East African countries and the Southern African Development Community (COMESA). He noted that Tanzania is advancing plans for the joint Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) project, which is expected to extend to Isaka and potentially connect to other parts of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. He encouraged investors to consider opportunities along the Central Corridor, noting that investments in the corridor are expected to generate strong long-term returns. Mr. Masanja further indicated that, subject to the availability of resources, the railway project could take approximately five years or more to complete. In addition, he revealed plans to establish a railway training college in either Mwanza or Dodoma to build local capacity in railway operations and management whereby Amb mwesigye proposed that this college could be a joint East Africa project. He advised the investors to submit a formal letter of intent to enable further discussions and technical engagement. Ambassador Mwesigye noted that Uganda, being a landlocked country, places high importance on securing multiple access routes to the sea. He observed that Dar es Salaam offers a stable and reliable maritime access point for Uganda compared to Mombasa, making railway connectivity between the two countries strategically important. The Ambassador also indicated that the Democratic Republic of the Congo has expressed readiness to join the project once arrangements are finalized. He stressed that cargo movement and regional trade present strong commercial opportunities for the proposed railway. Ambassador Mwesigye further highlighted the upcoming other two Pipelines of Natural Gas Pipeline and Bi-directional refined products Pipeline between uganda and Tanzania which offers further opportunities. The meeting concluded with a shared commitment to continue engagement and explore practical steps toward developing the SGR project between Tanzania–Uganda railway connection as part of broader regional infrastructure Integration.

@UCC_ED I strongly support you my daughter on this noble cause @hope_ssengooba

Uganda confidently supports Jessica Hope Ssengooba for re-election as Assistant Secretary General of the Pan African Postal Union (PAPU) for 2026–2029. Since 2021, Jessica has been actively working on enhancing governance, promoting digital transformation in the postal sector, and unifying Africa’s postal community on the global stage. Her endorsement by the African Union Executive Council as the only African candidate highlights her value to the continent. At @UCC_Official, we believe communication connects nations, and postal services have long played a vital role in this, even before the internet. They will continue to be key to Africa’s digital and economic growth. We encourage all PAPU member states to support her re-election and join us in strengthening Africa’s postal and communications systems. #PAPU2026Kampala #PostalTransformation #WomenInLeadership #PAPUPlenipot26 #ContinentalCooperation

The Golden moments with His Execellency @KagutaMuseveni .Our days start way back from Dar es salaam University in Tanzania.Thank you Mr. President for always believing and trusting in me.Thank you too for not forgetting your comrades.

Today,Masaka region will be hosting H.E the President @KagutaMuseveni after the recently concluded General elections.It is my humble prayer that our new leaders in the region put their differences aside and work together for the betterment of the region.

Hon. Gen. (Rtd) Odongo Jeje Abubakhar, Minister of Foreign Affairs, met with staff at the Ugandan High Commission in London to exchange views and ideas on strengthening diplomatic engagement. He thanked the team for their dedication and professionalism, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a strong team effort in advancing Uganda’s foreign policy objectives. The meeting provided an opportunity for open dialogue, mutual feedback, and reflection on ways to enhance the High Commission’s work in promoting Uganda’s interests abroad. @UgandaMFA

UPDATE- President Museveni held a phone call with Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the United Arab Emirates, conveying Uganda’s solidarity following attacks targeting the country’s sovereignty, security and the safety of its people.

I reminded them that our struggle was always about liberating Ugandans from poverty and bringing as many people as possible into the money economy through the four key sectors. Today, many have joined, and those who are in will help to pull in the rest. The focus must remain on wealth creation at the household level. Programmes like the Parish Development Model, Emyooga, ghetto funds and Boda Boda funds are designed to put resources close to the people so they can take charge of their own development. I am proud of our young people for embracing technology, sharpening their communication skills and creating opportunities for themselves and others. That is the future of Uganda. I thank Maama for accompanying me and Natasha for coordinating this engagement. Mwebale nnyo.
