The US ambassador to Angola, Tulinabo Mushingi, revealed, this Wednesday, in Luanda, that they will build more than 180 bridges in rural areas, as a result of discussions that the presidents of the two countries had, in relation to investments in infrastructure
The North American diplomat made this statement, at a press conference, when taking stock of the meeting between the two Heads of State, which took place last week, at the White House. He explained that it ends a historic year of engagement and partnership that coincided with the 30th anniversary of diplomatic ties.
For the US, he stated, it is a profound transformation in the relationship and is due, in part, to the leadership of President João Lourenço and the Biden administration’s commitment to investing in this partnership. He added that this will be done through high-level engagement in agreements for the creation of large economic infrastructures and cross-cutting collaboration, whether global or regional.
According to the diplomat, in his approach to the results of the meeting at the White House last week, the partnership between the two countries is more impactful than ever. He explained, according to Angop, that several commitments emerged from the meeting, with emphasis on the Lobito Corridor, where the US will invest more than a billion dollars. Regarding energy, he said that more than two billion dollars will also be invested in solar energy projects and the commitment to organize the energy security dialogue next year.
