Today I met with Kendra Gaither, President of the U.S.-Africa Business Center and Senior Vice President at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, on the margins of the #financeincommon2025 Summit. Our discussion underscored the strong alignment between Africa’s development priorities and the strategic interests of U.S. businesses, highlighting numerous opportunities for mutually beneficial partnerships.

I look forward to deepening our engagement with the U.S.-Africa Business Center and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce to help turn these shared visions into real impact. By working closely together, we can catalyze innovative financing models, expand market access for African businesses, and ensure that both sides of the Atlantic thrive as we build a more inclusive global economy.
