Uganda is reportedly considering establishing a consulate in Iraq to better support its growing migrant workforce, which was estimated at 20,000 six years ago.
According to New Vision, officials from Uganda's embassy in Tehran, led by Chargé D'Affaires Oscar Edule, reaffirmed this need during a session with Uganda's Parliament's Foreign Affairs Committee on Monday.
Edule highlighted that Uganda's diplomatic mission in Tehran currently oversees relations with ten countries, including Iraq, but lacks the budget to establish a consular office there. He estimated that setting up the facility would require approximately $290,000 for rent, staffing, and operational costs.
