Biden said he will hold the summit from December 13 to 15 to 'demonstrate the United States' enduring commitment to Africa'.
WASHINGTON, United States - U.S President Joe Biden announced Wednesday that he will welcome African leaders to Washington in December, a new initiative to build ties with the continent where China's influence has been rising.
"The U.S-Africa Leaders Summit will build on our shared values to better foster new economic engagement," Biden said in a statement. Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced the summit during a visit in November to Nigeria without giving a date. The U.S foreign aid chief, Samantha Power, on Monday urged China to do more to address the global food crisis aggravated by Russia's invasion of Ukraine as she announced more than $1 billion to avert starvation in the parched Horn of Africa.
