The All-Party Parliamentary Group for Uganda has been relaunched at Westminster, with Conservative MP Stuart Andrew as chair and Glenn Promnitz as secretary.
The inaugural meeting brought together members of the House of Commons and the House of Lords from across party lines. Ugandan MP Asha Mafabi Lumolo attended in person, while John Teira, chair of the UK–Uganda Friendship Group in Uganda’s Parliament, joined virtually and delivered a message on behalf of the Speaker.
Uganda’s high commissioner to the UK, Nimisha Madhvani, said the two countries should strengthen diplomatic ties, expand cooperation in health and education, and increase trade and investment.
She noted that more than 100,000 Ugandans live in the UK and called for closer cooperation in research, scholarships, healthcare, technology and skills development.
Madhvani also announced that the Westminster Africa Business Association will lead a trade mission to Uganda from 23 to 27 November 2026. Six UK-based companies will meet government officials, business leaders and investors to explore opportunities in agriculture, energy, mining, manufacturing, infrastructure and technology.
