African heads of state and government have convened in Luanda for the 17th US-Africa Business Summit, held this week.
The summit, hosted in Angola’s capital from Sunday to Thursday, seeks to deepen US-Africa economic partnerships.
More than 2,700 delegates are attending, including seven African presidents and six heads of government, organisers said.
The event also welcomes 19 ministerial delegations and representatives from key international and regional organisations.
Titled “Paths to Prosperity: A Shared Vision for US-Africa Partnership,” the summit spotlights trade and investment opportunities.
Jointly organised by the Corporate Council on Africa and the Angolan government, the gathering reflects growing global interest in Africa.
Spokesperson Jeronimo Pongolola highlighted the summit’s goal to showcase Africa’s rising economy and attract foreign investment.
Energy, infrastructure, finance, and agriculture stand at the heart of discussions shaping future commercial ties between the two regions.
Government officials, CEOs, investors, and entrepreneurs are exchanging insights and forging connections to drive sustainable growth.
“This summit underscores efforts to strengthen US-Africa commercial relations across sectors crucial to the continent’s development,” said Pongolola.
As Luanda buzzes with dialogue and deal-making, the conference casts a hopeful light on Africa’s economic horizon.
