Uganda will offer consular services to the Ugandan community in Southern Sudan after the establishment of her permanent diplomatic representation in South Sudan by constructing an embassy in Juba. Juba is the capital city of South Sudan.
The Kampala government plans to construct a mission block, apartment block, generator house, and gate house and boundary wall at a whopping 67 billion Uganda shillings.
The land on which Uganda government plans to construct permanent structure was donated to it by the government of South Sudan to enable the Ugandan government set up a market for the Ugandan traders in Juba and an embassy.
The foreign affairs ministry in Uganda says an establishment of a permanent Uganda embassy in Juba will reduce on the high cost of rent and administration in Juba.
South Sudan got her independence on 9th July 2011 after the people of south Sudan voted to secede from Khartoum government. The secession ended the over 20 years of civil war between the Arab-dominated Khartoum and the Christian dominated South Sudan.
