Today, Uganda and Rwanda are converging in Kampala for the 3rd annual Uganda-Rwanda business forum, which aims to accelerate trade and investment in the region. The event will bring together over 300 top companies in manufacturing, education, and finance from both countries.
The forum, jointly organized by the Rwanda Development Board (RDB) and the Uganda High Commission in Rwanda, will be graced by the presence of President Paul Kagame and Uganda’s President Yoweri Museveni. The theme for this year’s forum is “Accelerating regional trade and investment,” with a focus on addressing policy challenges hindering interaction among the private sector players in both countries.
Discussions will center around trade barriers hindering cross-border trade, including roaming charges, the new East African Community duty remission scheme, and non-tariff barriers along the Northern Corridor.
The meeting presents an opportunity to enhance bilateral business partnerships and promote trade and investment between Uganda and Rwanda.
