Uganda is poised to take center stage in global diplomacy as it prepares to host two pivotal events in January 2024—the 19th Summit of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) and the Third South Summit organized under the Group of 77 and China. Scheduled to unfold at the Munyonyo Commonwealth Resort in Kampala from January 15 to 23, these back-to-back summits are expected to draw leaders from 120 member states, creating a significant platform for international cooperation and solidarity.
Who will represent India at both summits has not yet been announced officially.
Established in 1961 during the height of the Cold War, the Non-Aligned Movement consists of 120 countries across Africa, Asia, Europe, and Latin America. Uganda’s role in leading this summit underscores its growing influence on the global stage. This is further emphasized by its recent display of neutrality on international issues, as exemplified during the vote on the Russia-Ukraine conflict at the United Nations, where Uganda chose to abstain, solidifying its position as a non-aligned nation.
The subsequent hosting of the G77 + China conference from January 20 to 23, 2024, immediately following the NAM Summit, further accentuates Uganda’s diplomatic standing. Operating under the theme “Leaving no one behind,” this conference brings together developing countries within the United Nations framework, with active participation from China. The endorsement of Uganda’s readiness to host the Third Summit by the chairman of the Group of 77 (G77) countries, Pedroso Cuesta Pedro Luis, adds a significant stamp of approval to Uganda’s diplomatic capabilities.
With the overarching theme of “Deepening Cooperation for Shared Global Affluence,” the Kampala summit is not merely a diplomatic gathering but is perceived by experts as a reflection of Africa’s growing influence on the international stage. At a time when the world contends with challenges arising from emerging power centers, deviating from traditional global blocs, the discussions at this summit are expected to play a pivotal role in shaping diplomatic discourse.
As President Yoweri Museveni assumes leadership from Azerbaijan President Ilham Aliyev, Uganda finds itself at the forefront of global affairs. Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, John Mulimba, foresees that these summits will serve as more than diplomatic milestones; they will also act as a prominent stage to showcase Uganda’s unique tourism and investment opportunities to a broader international audience.
In essence, as Uganda steps onto this diplomatic stage, the events in January 2024 are poised to not only strengthen international cooperation but also project the nation as a hub for economic opportunities and a beacon of diplomatic neutrality. These summits are anticipated to foster discussions and debates on shared global interests in a rapidly evolving geopolitical landscape, positioning Uganda as a key player on the world stage.
