Uganda's President Museveni met with officials from South Sudan and the Central African Republic at Fort Portal State Lodge. They discussed building a 1,100-kilometer road to link their countries. This road would help trade between areas that don't trade much right now. The leaders praised each other for tackling problems with roads and safety. They also reviewed what happened in earlier talks about the Bangu-Kampala road in March 2025.
The group agreed on where the road would go through all three countries. They decided to build the road in steps, starting with simple fixes like gravel and bridge repairs. Later steps will add paved surfaces to gravel roads and fix existing paved roads. They plan to raise money together for this trade route. They also set up a team of experts from different government departments to check the planned routes.
Aviation ministers from Uganda and the Central African Republic also signed an air service deal. This agreement will let Uganda Airlines start flights to the Central African Republic. The next meeting will happen after the expert team finishes its inspection. At the end of the meeting, ministers from all three countries signed papers. President Museveni thanked everyone for working together on these regional projects.
