Chinese Embassy in Uganda

The Embassy of the People’s Republic of China in Uganda is China’s chief diplomatic mission to the Republic of Uganda, located in Kampala. It was opened in 1962, the same year diplomatic relations were formalized shortly after the creation of the Republic of Uganda in October of that year — making it one of China’s earliest diplomatic missions in Africa. The relationship deepened in 1964, according to Chinese state sources, as China invited Ugandans to Beijing for leadership training. The embassy handles various functions, including political dialogue, trade promotion, cultural exchanges, and consular services for Chinese citizens in Uganda as well as visa services for Ugandans planning travel to China.
