Africa-Press – Angola. Actions to increase US trade cooperation with Angola were highlighted last weekend by US President Joe Biden.
The US leader, who was speaking at the G7 Summit, said that the US Government has just facilitated a partnership between two companies from this country and the Angolan authorities.
This partnership, he explained, will result in an investment of US$2 billion for the construction of a solar energy project, to help Angola reach its goals in the field of clean energy.
According to the US Head of State, it will also generate new business opportunities for technology and new jobs in Angola and across Africa.
These actions, he said, stem from the US efforts to support investments in renewable energies and its commitment to sustainable development.
Angola and the United States signed a strategic partnership agreement in 2010, and cooperate in several areas, with emphasis on trade, finance, energy, manufacturing, security, health and justice.
Recently, an Angolan delegation, headed by the Minister of State and head of the Military House of the President of the Republic, Francisco Furtado, was in Washington DC to mark the 5th anniversary of the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding, in the Defense sector, between the Republic of Angola and the United States of America.
Angola is the third largest US trading partner in Sub-Saharan Africa, mainly due to oil exports.
