Uganda on Sunday announced that it is breaking its military cooperation with North Korea over its continued nuclear proliferation.
Sam Kutesa, Minister of Foreign Affairs told reporters during the visit of South Korean President Park Geun-hye that Uganda will not cooperate with North Korea over its failure to respect the UN sanctions.
"We are disengaging from our cooperation with North Korea as a result of the UN sanctions. Our policy is that we don't support nuclear proliferation," Kutesa said in Entebbe, 40km south of the capital Kampala.
He said Uganda supports nuclear energy production for peaceful purposes like medicine and energy.
The South Korean President is in Uganda as part of her African tour that will take her to neighboring Kenya.
She has already been to Ethiopia where the African Union is headquartered.
