President Yoweri Museveni is in London for the International Somali Conference which kicks off today (Tuesday) at Lancaster House.
The President who is accompanied by the First Lady, Minister for Karamoja Affairs Janet Museveni was received at Luton International airport by the Special Representative of the Secretary of State in the Protocol Directorate Nicholas Jarrold and the acting High Commissioner Isaac Sebulime.
The conference that will be attended by various heads of states in the region is being co-hosted by the government of the UK and aims to provide international support for the Government of Somalia as they rebuild their country after two decades of conflict.
The conference will among other things prioritize various issues including the need for swift implementation of the Strategic Action Plan for Policing to address immediate stabilisation needs and build institutional foundations for effective civilian policing.
This will enable the government to realise its security and development objectives and co-ordinated international support and commitment to the implementation of this Strategic Action Plan for Policing.
