His Royal Majesty Atoroba Peni Rikito Gbudue, King of the Azande Kingdom of South Sudan, paid a respectful visit to the Bukedi Kingdom. His arrival was received with honor, warmth, and celebration, as the Kingdom welcomed a true royal guest and a respected leader.
During the visit, His Royal Majesty was presented with traditional cultural instruments—gifts of pride and identity—by Hon. Dr. Keddi Steven Eric Zuluba, the Prime Minister of the Bukedi Kingdom. The instruments symbolized unity, friendship, and the shared cultural values between the two kingdoms.
As the leaders met, they shared many ideas and discussed how both kingdoms could work together for development and progress. Their conversation focused on strengthening cooperation in ways that would benefit their people, preserve cultural heritage, and encourage unity between neighboring communities.
The King of the Azande Kingdom expressed his deep interest in continuing the relationship further. He therefore requested to visit the BUKEDI Kingdom’s leadership and also asked to go and pay a visit to his own palace in South Sudan. This was not only a request, but a sign of commitment to lasting partnership and mutual respect.
In his message to the people of BUKEDI, His Royal Majesty urged them to work together with the Azande Kingdom. He emphasized that he was ready and willing to cooperate fully in building a stronger future for both kingdoms—through goodwill, collaboration, and shared responsibility.
In response, Hon. Dr. Keddi Steven Eric Zuluba, the Prime Minister of the BUKEDI Kingdom, also promised strong cooperation. He assured His Royal Majesty that the BUKEDI Kingdom would work together with the Azande Kingdom and that his government would support the partnership with sincerity and dedication.
From that day, the visit became more than a royal meeting—it became a beginning of deeper unity. With cultural gifts, shared dialogue, and promises of cooperation, both kingdoms stood together with hope, ready to develop side by side, for the benefit of their people.
