“We have discussed matters of mutual interest and bilateral concern between the Communist Party of Cuba and the National Resistance Movement party,” Todwong said.
Cuba and Uganda have had historical collaborations and partnerships in areas of science and technology, education, agriculture and protracted fight for freedom and independence.
