Kadaga said constructive engagement between Uganda and Kenya is essential for maintaining cross-border peace and cooperation.<\/p>\n<p>The meeting reviewed progress made so far and identified key gaps that have delayed resolution of the incident in Lopita Sub County. Officials agreed to focus on three outstanding issues, including compensation for the victims, handling of convicted offenders, and measures to prevent similar incidents in the future.<\/p>\n<p>Kadaga called for a coordinated government approach, stressing the importance of accurate information-sharing and presenting a unified national position during the upcoming talks. She urged all agencies involved to ensure technical clarity and consistency in Uganda\u2019s submissions.<\/p>\n<p>The discussions also underscored the need for sustained diplomatic engagement and mutual respect between the two countries as they work towards resolving the dispute.<\/p>\n<p>Uganda reaffirmed its commitment to a peaceful and mutually acceptable resolution with Kenya, anchored on justice for the victims, regional harmony, and mechanisms to prevent future cross-border conflicts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ap-article-footer-note\">Find more news and analyses on <span class=\"ap-highlight-country\">Uganda<\/span> on the <span class=\"ap-highlight-brand\">Africa Press<\/span> website<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Uganda.
