Good and productive discussion with Eritrean Foreign Minister Osman on U.S.-Eritrea bilateral relations. Recognizing the complex and often challenging dynamics across the region, we explored opportunities to strengthen our partnership and expand cooperation on trade, regional economic development, and security. At a time when collective efforts are more important than ever, we underscored the need to work together constructively to address regional conflicts and advance lasting peace, stability, and prosperity in the Red Sea and the Horn of Africa.

In Abidjan, Assistant Secretary Garcia rolled up his sleeves at ChocoVi for a chocolate-making experience with IVLP alumna and master chocolatier Viviane Kouamé.

As the world's largest producer of cocoa, Côte d'Ivoire is at the heart of the global chocolate supply chain. Ivoirian chocolate is a vital input for the U.S. confectionery industry, helping sustain more than 70,000 manufacturing jobs across the United States.

Behind every great chocolate bar is a strong supply chain. The United States and Côte d'Ivoire are building deeper trade ties that support American manufacturing, open new market opportunities, and celebrate the exceptional quality of Ivoirian cocoa.

This is an excellent milestone and a clear signal of the DRC's continued commitment for the U.S.-DRC Strategic Partnership Agreement signed by @SecRubio. The Lobito Corridor is the cornerstone to how U.S. investment creates prosperity for all partners and builds secure, transparent supply chains powering the AI revolution. Under President Trump's leadership, this is what's possible when nations embrace American-backed investment, transparency, rule of law, and open markets.

Through the U.S.-DRC Strategic Partnership Agreement (SPA), the United States and the DRC are advancing shared objectives to facilitate greater U.S. and U.S.-aligned investment, diversify the DRC’s mining sector, and promote secure, reliable, and mutually beneficial critical mineral flows. The DRC Council of Ministers’ July 10 approval of the concession agreement for the DRC side of the Lobito Corridor to DFC-supported @MotaEngil is a key SPA milestone and reflects the DRC’s continued commitment to this partnership. The Lobito Corridor will strengthen regional connectivity, catalyze investment, create jobs, and enable two-way trade from the Atlantic Ocean to the DRC that will benefit all of Central Africa. We look forward to the final signing ceremony being organized as soon as possible so implementation can begin, @DFCgov support can be finalized, and the benefits of this transformational project can be realized.

“…the ongoing crisis in Sudan continues to have far reaching impacts on peace and security across the Sahel. The United States calls on the belligerents in Sudan to immediately commit to and comply with a humanitarian truce without conditions. There is no military solution to this conflict. The people of Sudan cannot wait any longer and deserve better.” - @AmbUNReform
