Uganda and Cuba are working closely to establish strong relations between their legislatures.

On Friday, Cuba’s Ambassador to Uganda, H.E. Antonio L. Pubillones hosted a group of parliamentarians led by Deputy Speaker, Jacob Oulanyah at the Embassy in Kampala.

According to a tweet by Oulanyah, the two discussed bilateral relations between the two countries and how to enhance cooperation.

“We continued our discussion with H.E. Antonio L. Pubillones, the Amb. of Cuba to Uganda on bilateral relations and enhancing collaboration btn the two Parliaments at the Cuban Embassy this afternoon Ug. and Cuba share many similarities and the Cuban p’ple are just as hospital as Ugandans,” Oulanyah tweeted.
