Museveni Pledges Support to OACPS, Offers Uganda As Potential New Headquarters

What the report says

SoftPower News reports that President Yoweri Museveni has pledged Uganda’s backing for the Organisation of African, Caribbean and Pacific States and indicated that Uganda could host the bloc’s future headquarters. The commitment was made in Entebbe on Tuesday during a meeting with the OACPS Secretary General, identified in the publisher’s snippet as H.E. Moussa.

According to the report, the offer comes as the organisation prepares to move its headquarters from Brussels, Belgium. ChimpReports carried a matching headline, also saying Museveni had offered Uganda as a possible new base for the OACPS. The available source material does not provide further details on the meeting agenda, any formal application process, or whether other countries are being considered.

By way of context, the OACPS is a multilateral grouping of states from Africa, the Caribbean and the Pacific that engages on development, trade and international cooperation issues, including historically with the European Union. A headquarters move would be significant because it could affect the organisation’s diplomatic presence, administrative operations and visibility among member states.

If pursued, Uganda’s proposal would position Kampala as a contender to host an international organisation with broad cross-regional membership. However, based on the available reporting, Museveni’s statement should be understood as an expression of support and willingness to host, not a confirmed relocation decision.
