On behalf of the United States of America, I congratulate the people of Uganda on the 62nd anniversary of Uganda’s independence, and wish them a happy independence day. We take this occasion to commemorate our partnership and celebrate the progress we have made addressing regional security challenges, improving public health outcomes, spurring mutually beneficial economic investment, and investing in education for new generations of Ugandans. The United States looks forward to continuing to support the Ugandan people as they work to build an inclusive, democratic, and prosperous future.
