Washington is seeking a 'true partnership' with Africa and not trying to 'outdo' other world powers in vying for influence on the continent, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken says
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken says Washington does not see Africa as the"latest playing field in a competition between great powers" as he arrives in South Africa for a three-nation trip to the region.The United States is seeking a "true partnership" with Africa and not trying to "outdo" other world powers in vying for influence on the continent, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has said.
Speaking in the South African capital Pretoria on Monday, Blinken said the United States did not see the region as the "latest playing field in a competition between great powers". Pretoria has refused to join Western calls to condemn Moscow, which had opposed apartheid before the end of white-minority rule in 1994.
Officials in President Joe Biden's administration told reporters that the new "US Strategy Toward Sub-Saharan Africa" will actively engage the region's leaders on issues from climate change to pandemic recovery to food insecurity, while thinking "more holistically" about military engagement on the continent.
