ACCRA: US Vice President Kamala Harris said on Sunday that the United States will increase investment in Africa and help spur economic growth as she began a week long tour of the continent aimed at offering a counter to the influence of rival China.
"On this trip I intend to do work that is focused on increasing investments here on the continent and facilitating economic growth and opportunity," Harris said shortly after touching down in Ghana, the first destination in a trip that will include visits to Tanzania and Zambia. In December, ahead of a US-Africa summit, the US committed US$55 billion to the continent over the next three years. Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced US$150 million in new humanitarian aid for Africa's Sahel region during a visit to Niger this month.On this trip, Harris will also discuss China's engagement in technology and economic issues in Africa that concern the United States, as well as China's involvement in debt restructuring, senior US officials said last week.
