A successful Joint Political Consultation Committee(JPCC) meeting happened in Khartoum between Uganda and the Republic of Sudan. This meeting happened mainly to strengthen the bilateral cooperation between the two countries.

This mainly focused on the political, economic, peace and security cluster/ sector for the mutual benefit of both countries.

Both countries have fraternal bilateral relations and strong historic friendship ties mainly because of the Pan-Africanism principle. They are majorly pursued through frameworks such as the Joint Permanent Cooperation Committee (JPCC). These are hosted rotationally between both countries.

In December 2018, the last (4th) Joint Political Consultation Committee meeting happened here in Kampala. This fifth edition took place in Khartoum, the capital of Sudan.

The Permanent Secretary, Bagiire Vincent Waiswa and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Under Secretary of Sudan co-chaired the meeting.

He further urged Uganda to support the lifting of the ban on Sudan from involvement in African Union activities. At the meeting, they agreed that the next one is to be held in Kampala six months from now.
