U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris holds talks with AU Chair Tshisekedi
Vice President Kamala Harris spoke with President Felix Tshisekedi of the Democratic Republic of the Congo on Friday.
The Vice President congratulated President Tshisekedi on assuming the African Union Chairmanship.
“They discussed COVID-19, the recent Ebola outbreaks, and economic opportunity. They committed to work together to strengthen health security, increase regional trade and investment, promote human rights and good governance, and to address the challenges of climate change,” a statement from the White House reads.
The Vice President committed to working with the DRC government to advance girls’ education and to bolster economic opportunities for all Congolese.
She further emphasized the serious concern of the United States about reports of significant human rights violations and a deteriorating humanitarian crisis in the Tigray region of Ethiopia.
They agreed to collaborate to reduce conflict, support dialogue, and secure peace in eastern DRC and the region.
Meanwhile, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Saturday called on the African Union and other international partners to help address a deepening crisis in Ethiopia’s northern Tigray region as he condemned alleged atrocities in fighting there.
