• Dr. Masembe represented Uganda at the Global Peace and Development Committee Conference 2025 and received a prestigious international award.
  • His keynote address emphasized diplomacy, unity, and Uganda’s readiness for global investment.
  • Uganda’s delegation also featured Ms. Vivian Allen Blondemu, who led the interfaith prayers, adding spiritual significance to the event.

Dr. Robinson Masembe — Director of Masrob Events Company Ltd, a prominent businessman, an NRM Patriot and Coordinator, Lead Pastor at Maya Christian Church under Masembe Ministries, and author of Uganda Hidden Facts: The 120 Reasons Why I Support H.E. Gen. Yoweri Kaguta Museveni — was honoured with the 2025 Global Peace and Development Award, a distinction recognizing his remarkable contribution to international cooperation, humanitarian service, cultural exchange, talent development, and the global advancement of the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

Invited by the Government of India to represent Uganda, Dr. Masembe took his place on the global stage with characteristic composure and influence. As he rose to receive the award, the auditorium broke into warm applause — a testament not only to the moment, but to his growing stature in international diplomacy.

The Global Peace and Development Committee Conference 2025, held at the Radisson Blu Hotel in Paschim Vihar, brought together distinguished diplomats, policymakers, scholars, and development strategists. Though the agenda revolved around UNSDG 2030, India’s Vision 2047, and Africa’s Agenda 2063, it was Dr. Masembe’s voice that shaped the day’s direction and left the most enduring impression.

Delivering one of the keynote remarks of the conference, he spoke with conviction about the indispensable role of diplomacy as a tool for unity and sustainable progress. “Diplomacy is the cornerstone of peace, prosperity, and human progress,” he said, calling on nations to rebuild trust, strengthen bilateral partnerships, and embrace shared development goals. He cautioned that without meaningful diplomatic engagement, countries risk losing ground in global trade, foreign investment, tourism, and cultural exchange.

In his address, he reaffirmed Uganda’s unwavering commitment to peace and global cooperation under the leadership of President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni. He described Uganda as a stable and investment-ready destination, inviting the world to explore its expanding economic opportunities — a message that resonated strongly with participants.

His views aligned harmoniously with the perspectives of Indian speakers such as Pankaj Kumar Sharma and Surjit Singh, who emphasised that India’s Vision 2047 must be grounded not just in economic growth, but also in human values, moral responsibility, and inclusive development. Together, their insights formed a powerful narrative: that diplomacy and shared humanity remain essential to navigating today’s geopolitical challenges.

Uganda’s presence at the event was further highlighted when Ms. Vivian Allen Blondemu was invited to lead the interfaith prayers. Her warm and heartfelt words of gratitude to the organisers and attendees added a profound spiritual dimension to the ceremony.
