Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo this week agreed to expand trade through reciprocal visa‑free access, seeking to reap from joint security operations in eastern Congo and plans for cross‑border oil, gas and energy projects.
The latest decision, the result of a visit by President Felix Tshisekedi to Kampala, is supposed to show that the two sides are benefiting from their joint security operations in Ituri and North Kivu provinces in Congo.
