US Has “Increasing Interest” in Investing in Angola – Biden Administration

The head of US diplomacy today highlighted the “growing interest of US investment in the Angolan market,” in a conversation with the President of Angola, to whom he conveyed US support for the search for solutions to regional conflicts.

In a telephone conversation, João Lourenço and the US Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, spoke of bilateral cooperation, namely the “growing interest of US investment in the Angolan market,” according to a note from the Angolan presidency.

In terms of regional issues, the statement said, the United States reiterated its support for the leadership of the Angolan president in seeking solutions to the conflicts in the Central African Republic and the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRCongo).

Regarding the situation in the DRCongo, the US government defends the need to implement the decisions taken at the Luanda Summit and calls for the assumption of responsibilities by those involved, with regard specifically to the withdrawal of the M23 from its positions in Congolese territory and the creation of conditions for the quartering of elements of that force.

“In this afternoon’s interaction between the President of Angola and the US Secretary of State, the importance of the international community focusing its support on regional initiatives was underlined, that is, the Luanda process and the Nairobi process,” the statement from the Angolan presidency said.

The note also said that João Lourenço and Antony Blinken reviewed the United States-Africa summit, which took place in December, 2022, in Washington, with the United States guaranteeing the implementation of decisions taken at that forum.

According to the document, by the way, the personalities that US President Joe Biden appointed to closely monitor the process after the Washington Summit will visit the African continent in February, including Angola.
