Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo’s agreement on visa-free travel is aimed at easing the movement of people and strengthening trade between the two countries.
The agreement follows recent talks between the two countries’ officials in the DR Congo capital, Kinshasa.
Uganda’s President Yoweri Museveni has for months been advocating for visa-free entry between the two countries and in May, he asked officials from both countries to speed up the process of introducing visa-free travel.
Both Ugandan and Congolese nationals have previously complained about paying high visa fees at border crossings.
