On 26 May-3 June 1975, a military delegation of the Republic of Uganda—headed by Major General Mustafa Adrisi, the chief of the general staff—visited the DPRK. The delegation visited several military units and defense factories, and its leader was received by DPRK Vice-President Kang Ryang-uk, to whom Mustafa A. [sic] handed over the personal letter that the president of the Republic of Uganda [Idi Amin Dada] had sent to Kim Il Sung. Kang Ryang-uk honored the head and members of the delegation with awards and medals. Soviet diplomats informed an official of our embassy [Dr. László Eperjesi] about the main results of the visit of the Ugandan military government delegation. They signed three agreements: The military cooperation between the two countries has been going on for several years; it has undergone a particular intensification after a high-ranking Ugandan military delegation participated in the celebrations that were held in Pyongyang in April 1972.
