Luanda - The actions to increase trade cooperation between the United States and Angola were stressed this weekend by US President Joe Biden.
The US leader, who was speaking at the G7 Summit, said that the US government had just facilitated a partnership between two US companies and the Angolan authorities.
This partnership, he explained, will result in a USD two billion investment for the construction of a solar project.
Joe Biden also said that it would help Angola to reach its climate targets.
According to the US Head of State, it will also generate new business opportunities for technology and new jobs in Angola and perhaps in Africa as a whole.
These actions, he said, stem from US efforts to support investments in renewable energy and its commitment to sustainable development.
In 2010, Angola and the United States signed a strategic partnership agreement and cooperate in several areas, particularly 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 Defence sector, between the Republic of Angola and the United States of America.
Angola is the USA's third largest trading partner in sub-Saharan Africa, mainly due to oil exports.
