Uganda is once again set to take the global stage as it prepares to host the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) Review Summit, bringing together delegates from more than 120 countries to assess progress made since the last NAM summit held in Kampala earlier this year.
The summit, expected to be attended by heads of state, diplomats, and international observers, will focus on strengthening cooperation among developing nations and addressing global challenges such as peace, economic stability, and climate change.
According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the review summit aims to consolidate Uganda’s leadership role in the movement and build on the commitments made during the January 2024 NAM conference.
“Uganda has proven itself a reliable voice for the Global South. This summit reaffirms our dedication to unity and shared progress,” said Foreign Affairs Minister Jeje Odongo.
President Yoweri Museveni is expected to officially open the summit, highlighting Uganda’s achievements in regional diplomacy and urging stronger partnerships between African and Asian nations.
The event will also include discussions on youth empowerment, digital inclusion, and global peacekeeping efforts. Delegates are scheduled to tour several industrial and innovation projects, showcasing Uganda’s development strides.
Analysts believe hosting the review summit not only boosts Uganda’s diplomatic image but also offers an opportunity to attract foreign investment and tourism.
