ABUJA , Nov 19 — US President Joe Biden plans to hold a summit with African leaders to show US commitment to the continent, Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced today.
“President Biden intends to host the US-Africa Leaders Summit to drive the kind of high-level diplomacy and engagement that can transform relationships and make effective cooperation possible,” Blinken said in the Nigerian capital Abuja. Blinken, who is on his first visit to sub-Saharan Africa as secretary of state, did not give a date for the summit.
The move comes as China steps up engagement with Africa including through a major meeting this month in Senegal, where Blinken heads later Friday. US allies France, Britain and Japan have also been holding regular summits with African leaders. — AFP
