United States President Joseph Biden opened the virtual Summit for Democracy, today, December 9, 2021.
In his opening remarks, President Biden emphasized the importance of promoting democracy currently trying to resist in fragile times. "Democracy — government of the people, by the people,
for the people — can at times be fragile, but it also is inherently resilient. It’s capable of self-correction and it’s capable of self-improvement." President Biden also mentioned the difficultly of promoting democracy but urged partners to work together and find consensus.
Though promoting democracy can be difficult, President Biden urged leaders to join him working together and finding a consensus.
The Summit for Democracy is a two-day (December 9-10, 2021) summit bringing together leaders from government, civil society, and the private sector to discuss strengthening democratic institutions, promoting free and fair elections, protecting human rights, and defending civil society and independent media.
Among those in attendance at the Summit for Democracy is the Republic of Angola, one of the 17 African nations of the 108 countries listed, including the host the United States. Notably absent from the list are Turkey, China, and Russia key trading partners to the Republic of Angola.

The energy industry landscape has transformed, and as Africa and the United States get their respective energy sector recoveries underway, now is the time to take a new approach to Africa’s most important commercial partnership in oil, gas and power. As the Biden Administration resets and places new focus on the U.S.-Africa relationship, Energy Capital & Power (ECP), in partnership with the African Energy Chamber’s (AEC) U.S.-Africa Committee will introduce American companies to African opportunities, promote greater investment into selected African nations, and advance an agenda of sustainable, long term investment in African energy and other sectors by U.S. organizations.
The U.S.-Africa Energy Forum is supported by champions of Africa in Washington, D.C. and Houston, and celebrates America’s vital role in Africa’s future prosperity. As partners, the United States and Africa are leaders in defining and shaping the global energy transition.
Key themes will include the energy transition and Africa as a clean energy hub, energy storage and strategic minerals, Africa’s place in global energy supply chains, gas as vital fuel for the energy transition and development, the ongoing role of petroleum resources, and repositioning the U.S. as the primary partner of choice for African energy developers.
