WASHINGTON, 09 August 2022, (TON): US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in South Africa “the United States sees Africa’s 54 nations as equal partners in tackling global problems.”
Blinken said “our strategy is rooted in the recognition that sub-Saharan Africa is a major geopolitical force one that has shaped our past, is shaping our present, and will shape our future.”
He said “it’s a strategy that reflects the region’s complexity, its diversity, its agency; and one that focuses on what we will do with African nations and peoples, not for African nations and peoples.”
Blinken said “the United States and African nations can’t achieve any of our shared priorities whether that’s recovering from the pandemic; creating broad-based economic opportunities; addressing the climate crisis.”
