As part of his administration’s effort to build a special relationship with African countries, US President Barack Obama will travel to Senegal, South Africa and Tanzania next month.
The week-long trip from June 26 to July 3, will underscore Obama’s commitment to broadening and deepening cooperation between the US and the people of sub-Saharan Africa to advance regional and global peace and prosperity, a presidential spokesman said yesterday.
“The President will reinforce the importance that the US places on our deep and growing ties with countries in sub-Saharan Africa, including through expanding economic growth, investment, and trade, strengthening democratic institutions, and investing in the next generation of African leaders,” White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said.
Obama will meet a wide array of leaders from Government, business, and civil society, including youth, to discuss America’s strategic partnerships on bilateral and global issues.
