Ministerial plenaries will follow on August 26-27, bringing together senior government officials from the United States and the 39 African beneficiary countries.
A trade exhibition will run throughout the official program.The U.S. delegation will be led by U.S. Trade Representative Ambassador Michael Froman and include senior officials from the U.S. Departments of State, Agriculture, Commerce, Energy, Labor, Transportation, Treasury, and Transportation, the U.S. Agency for International Development, the U.S. Trade and Development Agency, as well as the National Security Council, Millennium Challenge Corporation, the Overseas Private Investment Corporation, and the United States African Development Fund.
