Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El Sisi and Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni began on Sunday talks at the presidential palace here.

The two leaders held first a tete-a-tete session of talks that was followed by an expanded meeting grouping the two countries' officials.

Talks tackled promoting bilateral cooperation and the possibility of increasing trade exchange and setting up joint projects in Uganda.

The two sides also discussed a number of African issues of mutual interest and ways of enhancing security and stability in the continent and finding political settlements to many crises in African nations.

Sisi arrived here earlier in the day on a day-long official visit at the invitation of the Ugandan president.
