Mandating Regular US-Africa Summits to Strengthen Ties and Cooperation.
This bill requires the Secretary of State to host regular U.S.-Africa Leaders Summits every four years to strengthen diplomatic and economic ties. It also establishes smaller City Summits and creates a dedicated unit to monitor the implementation of commitments made during these meetings. Citizens benefit from increased transparency through mandatory quarterly public reports on the progress of US-Africa relations.
