During his visit on March 21, 2025, Gen Muhoozi was accompanied by Rwanda's Chief of Defense Forces, Gen Mubarakh Muganga.
Gen Muhoozi highlighted the strong military ties between Rwanda and Uganda, emphasizing that this collaboration has yielded significant benefits. He reiterated that both sides remain committed to working together in addressing any security threats.
He stated, 'When we combine the strength of our powerful armies, there is no obstacle we cannot overcome.'
The Ugandan general also delivered a lecture to students at the college, who hail from 20 different countries. His lesson focused on reinforcing partnerships as the foundation for ensuring Africa's security.
He urged the students to prioritize African unity, particularly in safeguarding the continent's vital interests, protecting civilians, and fostering brotherhood among African nations.
Gen Muhoozi began his official visit to Rwanda on March 20, accompanied by Brig Gen Asingura Kagoro and journalist Andrew Mwenda, who is a close friend of both Muhoozi and Rwanda.
In February 2025, Muhoozi had announced his upcoming visit, noting that afterward, his Rwandan counterpart, Gen Muganga, would also visit Uganda.
'Soon, I will visit our soldiers in the RDF. After that, Rwanda's CDF will visit the UPDF soldiers. Uganda and Rwanda are one! Always,' he stated.
The Uganda People's Defense Forces (UPDF) confirmed that Gen Muhoozi plans to hold discussions with senior RDF leaders and President Paul Kagame. The UPDF further stated that his visit represents continued progress in strengthening military cooperation between the two nations.
Gen Muhoozi last visited Rwanda in August 2024, when he attended the inauguration ceremony of President Paul Kagame following his re-election.
