Uganda and South Sudan open joint border bilateral meetings in Arua

Uganda's Embassy in Juba and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs opened two-day Uganda-South Sudan joint border meetings in Arua on trade, customs, border security and migration. Uganda's ambassador Brig. Gen. Ronnie Balya called for a lasting solution to border provocations that have at times led to deadly exchanges between the two countries' forces, and said a joint technical committee on border disputes was slowed by inadequate funding.
