The cultural, economic, social and political well-being of African people is of great significance to our own; balanced and respectful partnership between America and Africa are needed.

Few regions of the U.S. have older and more diverse connections to the African continent. This region has special prominence in fields of maritime, high-technology, education, cultural, financial and governmental affairs, giving our recommendations special significance.
