President Yoweri Museveni has met and held discussions with the American Ambassador to Uganda Scott H. DeLisi who called on him at State House in Entebbe.
President Museveni and his guests discussed a wide range of bilateral issues including health as well as economic development between Uganda and the United States.
The meeting comes at the heels of the President’s public testing for HIV/AIDS to reenergize the fight against the pandemic.
This year’s global theme is particularly applicable to Uganda: Getting to zero: Zero new infections. Zero discrimination. Zero AIDS related deaths. More than 400,000 Ugandan`s receive life saving antiretroviral treatment funded by U.S assistance.
U.S assistance has enhanced social economic well being through the country and improved the lives of thousands of Ugandan`s through development programs.
The United States is Uganda`s largest bilateral donor.
