Prime Minister Dr Ruhakana Rugunda has commended the government of Canada for their support and partnership in fight against terrorism in Uganda and the region as a whole.
Dr Rugunda said international coordination by all stakeholders could break the backbone of terrorism across the world.

He made the remarks on Tuesday while receiving the Canadian High Commissioner to Uganda, David Angell who is based in Nairobi, Kenya.
During the meeting at his office, the premier also hailed Canada for its cordial relationship with Uganda since 1962.
Canada, which has a consulate in Kampala, is focused on laying a firm foundation for lasting peace in Uganda and the broader region. Canada was among the principal supporters of the peace process during the Lord’s Resistance Army insurgency of Joseph Kony.

It also offers military training opportunities for the Uganda People’s Defense Forces, and both countries signed a memorandum of understanding on the deployment of formed Police Units to the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISON).
Dr Rugunda and his guest also discussed ways of improving the trade and investment opportunities that exist between the two countries. Ugandan imports from Canada include textiles and machinery, while her exports there are mostly coffee and fish.
Uganda and Canada are currently considering a proposal to initiate and establish a Joint Permanent Commission to further enhance cooperation and bilateral relations.
