KAMPALA, May 17 (Xinhua) -- Uganda is committed to a peaceful coexistence with her neighbor Rwanda despite a recent hitch, Uganda's foreign minister said here on Friday.

"We are convinced that the current hitch in the state of our bilateral relations will be resolved," said Uganda's minister of foreign affairs Sam Kutesa while briefing diplomats accredited to Uganda on the status of the Uganda-Rwanda relations.

Uganda is working tirelessly behind the scene to improve relations with Rwanda, said Kutesa.

He said he has made numerous contacts with his Rwandan counterpart Richard Sezibera and also traveled to Rwanda as a special envoy of Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni.

Rwanda made allegations that Uganda was harassing its citizens and hosting elements hostile to the government of Rwanda, which are false, he added. Enditem
