China Uganda Communique Establishing Diplomatic Relations
Desiring to strengthen further the existing friendly relations between the People's Republic of China and Uganda, the two Governments have agreed to establish formal diplomatic relations and to exchange diplomatic representatives at ambassadorial level.
