VO
President Park's meeting with the host, Uganda's president Yoweri Museveni is due Sunday morning
The two leaders are expected to have closed door bilateral talks
Uganda and South Korea have longstanding relations established more than 50 years ago
But this is the first visit of a South Korean president to Uganda
President Park's visit comes at a time when Uganda on the other hand also has cordial relations with North Korea despite the international sanctions against Pyongyang
North Korea has recently trained Ugandan Police.
Uganda is widely seen as a strong Western ally especially in fighting extremism.
This experts say places President Museveni as a strategic partner for South Korea, another Western ally.
President Park's Africa tour started in Ethiopia where she became the first South Korean leader to address the African Union
From Uganda, she will visit neighboring Kenya before leaving the continent for Europe.
