Official Statement

The Embassy of the Republic of Angola in the United States of America welcomes the celebration of the 33rd anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the Republic of Angola and the United States of America, a milestone that symbolizes the consolidation of a relationship based on mutual respect, political dialogue, and strategic cooperation.

Over these three decades, Angola and the United States have built an increasingly solid and multifaceted partnership, with significant advances in the political, economic, energy, peace and regional security fields, as well as in cooperation in infrastructure, critical minerals, and sustainable development.

The Embassy particularly highlights the strengthening of strategic cooperation in the last decade, including support for the Lobito Corridor, the expansion of energy cooperation, and the deepening of partnerships in the field of defense and regional security.

In marking this important date, the Embassy reaffirms Angola's commitment to continue working to strengthen bilateral relations, for the benefit of the interests of both countries and their peoples.

The celebration of 33 years of diplomatic relations between Angola and the United States thus represents not only a historical milestone, but also the projection of a strategic partnership geared towards the future.

At the @CorpCnclAfrica U.S.-Africa Business Summit in Angola, I spoke about the importance of the U.S.-Africa economic partnership. The Trump administration is focused on supporting peace in Africa because we recognize the critical link between peace, stability, and economic prosperity. Together, we will drive transformational growth for both African nations and the United States.

[Bureau of African Affairs @AsstSecStateAF]

Senior Bureau Official Troy Fitrell discussed the Commercial Diplomacy Strategy – the Trump Administration’s investment-led strategy toward Africa. "What I see are African governments, private sector, and the U.S. government working together. We have a common trajectory, we have a common goal, and we are working together."

[Bureau of African Affairs @AsstSecStateAF]

Senior Bureau Official Troy Fitrell thanked Angola President João Lourenço for hosting the 2025 @CorpCnclAfrica U.S.-Africa Business Summit and for Angola’s commitment to building economic partnerships with the United States and across the continent.

It’s here! The 2025 @CorpCnclAfrica U.S.-Africa Business Summit opened in Luanda, Angola, bringing African government and private-sector leaders together with U.S. officials to promote greater U.S.-Africa trade, investment, and business partnerships.

[U.S. Senior Advisor for Arab and African Affairs @US_SrAdvisorAF]

The U.S. State Department is shifting from an assistance-led to an investment-led strategy in Sub-Saharan Africa. Our new strategy places Commercial Diplomacy at the core of our engagement by advocating for American companies, finding new commercial opportunities, and engaging with African governments on market reforms.

Ambassador Fitrell on the Lobito Corridor: The idea behind it was not just just the U.S. going in and starting a project, it involves other partners and the private sector coming in. #AFHubPress

The Trump Administration supports the Lobito Corridor Project.
It is an investment that the United States remains committed to. It is an investment that the United States feels is very important. It continues to support the Administration's priority of making America safer, stronger, and more prosperous. -  @StateDept Deputy Spokesperson Mignon Houston
