Hundreds of delegates in the category of senior officials primed to attend the 19th summit of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) that kicks off today, started arriving in the country yesterday.
At Entebbe International Airport where they landed, security was tight within and outside the landing strip, along with heavy deployment on major routes and the rest of the city.
Military personnel and police kept patrolling the premises, looking out for any suspicious activity.
Journalists were also kept away from accessing the airport premises due to the tight security measures.
Coasters branded with the 19th NAM and G77+ China Summit initials were spread throughout the packing space spots of the airport ready to transport the visitors to their places of abode.
On arrival, at their respective time intervals, Ugandan officials received some of them at the newly improved terminal building before driving them off to their designated hotels ahead of this week’s summit activities.
The guests are being housed in designated hotels spread out in the districts of Kampala and Wakiso.
