The US President Joe Biden’s message at the Business Forum that brought together political leaders and businessmen in Washington was Africans can count on the United States.
Joe Biden listed many of the deals that have been concluded and recalled the major lines of investment for the development of the African continent.
Joe Biden mentioned in his speech, the solar power plant projects underway in Angola valued at two billion dollars.
A theme that led Angolan President João Lourenço to share the Angolan experience in the panel of the Partnership for Infrastructure Investment, a program that should have the largest financial allocation.
“Angola and Africa above all need access to finance to develop infrastructure but in order for this access to be effective we need to know how to get to this resource. Often what we lack is to know or master the mechanisms and especially the processes that allow us to get the green light to use these resources”, said João Baptista Borges, Angolan minister for Energy and Water.
The Biden administration is also going to accompany American and African investors and is already working in this direction.
“Our focus as we are heading for the end of the summit is going to be to identify the key areas of follow-up and collaboration in order to make these various investments materialize”, added Ramin Toloui, assistant secretary for economic and business affairs for the State Department.
The signing of a memorandum of understanding between the United States and the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) marked the second day of the summit.
Such an agreement, for Biden, will bring the two sides of the Atlantic even closer together.
