Uganda was honoured to participate in the Turkmen Travel and Tourism Expo 2026—an important platform for strengthening cultural diplomacy and advancing global tourism partnerships.
Amb. Matata extended his sincere appreciation to the Rector for the warm hospitality and to the Government of Turkmenistan for the gracious invitation. Uganda is proud to be part of this meaningful engagement.
Uganda and Turkmenistan have enjoyed cordial relations since 1999, built on mutual respect and sustained through cooperation in multilateral platforms, including the United Nations. There is strong potential to further deepen these ties through enhanced people-to-people connections and cultural exchange.
Uganda proudly showcases a rich cultural heritage, with over 56 tribes, vibrant traditions, and historic kingdoms. From the UNESCO-listed Kasubi Tombs to the captivating performances at the Ndere Cultural Centre, cultural tourism continues to serve as a powerful bridge for connection and shared prosperity.
We are also honoured to have received an Award of Participation at the Expo, received by Mr. Sseremba, Under Secretary, Ministry of Tourism.
As we look ahead, we remain committed to strengthening collaboration in tourism, culture, and diplomacy—building lasting partnerships that contribute to peace, cooperation, and sustainable development.
