THE HAGUE: The Netherlands and Uganda signed a letter of intent Thursday to set up a return center in the east African country for rejected asylum seekers.

The move comes ahead of an election in October caused by the collapse of Dutch government when far-right leader Geert Wilders pulled his party from the ruling coalition in a row over asylum rules.
