In 2001, the Chinese Government and the Government of Uganda signed a protocol agreement for the construction of a building for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Then, on November 28, 2002, China's Deputy Foreign Affairs Minister Yang Wenchang and Uganda's Minister for the Presidency and Acting Foreign Secretary Gilbert Bukenya signed an agreement for a grant worth 6.5 million USD to help with shortages in the construction of the foreign affairs ministry on Plot 2 Apollo Kaggwa Road, Kampala, Uganda. Construction began on March 30, 2003, and was completed on May 30, 2004, and the handover ceremony was on September 17, 2004. The office building is 7 stories high and has a building area of 6,018 square meters. Anhui Foreign Economic Construction Group Co., Ltd. was the project implementer.
