Also part of the welcome party was Col Ronald Rwivanga, the Spokesperson of Rwanda Defence Force.<\/p>\n

Muhoozi arrived in Kigali for the second time this morning after his first official visit in late January 2022, where he held a t\u00eate-\u00e0-t\u00eate with President Kagame.<\/p>\n

Rwanda and Uganda\u2019s bilateral relations have started blossoming as the borders between the two countries were re-opened in late January 2022.<\/p>\n

The borders were closed in 2018 following a number of grievances by Rwanda which Uganda had failed to address.<\/p>\n

These included hosting hostile groups which use Uganda as a base to plan activities to destabilise Rwanda and enjoy support from some Ugandan public institutions.<\/p>\n

Others include the arbitrary arrest, abduction, torture and illegal detention of Rwandans by Ugandan security forces, among others.<\/p>\n
