Rwanda's President Paul Kagame arrived in Uganda Sunday, making his first visit to the country in four years as the relationship between the two East African nations improves following long-simmering tensions.
Public broadcaster Rwanda Broadcasting Agency said Kagame had arrived in Kampala to meet his Ugandan counterpart Yoweri Museveni and attend the 48th birthday party of Museveni's powerful son, Muhoozi Kainerugaba, who has been instrumental in the rapprochement between the two neighbours.
The Ugandan high commission in Kigali said Kagame was on"a private visit", adding that Kainerugaba and Security Minister Jim Muhwezi were among the senior government officials who received the Rwandan leader. The reported presence on Ugandan soil of rebels seeking to topple Kagame has been a long-running sore in relations between the two neighbours.
Kagame last visited Uganda in March 2018 on Museveni's invitation for private talks on bilateral, regional and international issues.
