US President Biden begins first Africa visit
President Joe Biden begins his much-anticipated first visit to Africa, specifically Angola Monday. The president is expected to stop in the island nation of Cape Verde, another former Portuguese colony. The White House says the president’s trip will focus on strengthening regional security, growing economic opportunities, and improving technological and scientific relations. Florindo Chivucute, the executive director of Friends of Angola, tells VOA’s James Butty, many people are excited about Biden’s visit and hope that whatever investments accruing from the visit would benefit ordinary Angolans.
