Uganda-India Relations
In 2018, Uganda and India signed a defence pact in the presence of President Yoweri Museveni during Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Uganda.
The agreement was aimed at reinforcing the existing military training partnerships between the two countries.
The defence pact was one of four Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) signed at State House Entebbe during the two-day state visit of Indian Prime Minister then.
