Foreign Affairs Minister Sam Kutesa Thursday met several ambassadors
accredited to Uganda with whom they discussed the Anti-homosexuality
law recently assented to by the President.

According to a press release from the ministry, Kutesa's visitors
included Alain Hanssen (Belgium), ambassador Urban Andersson (Sweden),
ambassador Scott DeLisi (US), Thorbjørn Gaustadsæther of Norway,
ambassador Alphons Hennekens (Netherlands) and Dan Frederiksen
(Denmark).

The press release about the meeting reads: "The Minister of Foreign
Affairs today met Ambassadors of Belgium, Sweden, Norway, Denmark and
the US to discuss the anti-homosexuality law recently assented by His
Excellency the President.

"They all expressed their governments' objection of the passing of the Bill.

"However, there was consensus from the ambassadors that they continue
to value the partnership with Uganda and far-reaching decisions will
not be taken in haste as they continue to engage the Ugandan
Government on the issue.

"The ambassadors were mindful that they do not want ordinary people to
suffer as a result development assistance cuts, as they are closely
observing the implications of the Law.

"Kutesa reiterated the President's position on the law but emphasized
that its intention is not to discriminate, harass or witch-hunt
homosexuals but prohibit the promotion and exhibition of homosexuality
in Uganda. The minister added that "we should examine this issue in a
cool and rational manner", with continued engagement as a way
forward."
