The United States and Africa: Building a 21st Century Partnership

The U.S. is deeply concerned by the recent violence in Honiara, Solomon Islands. We call on all parties to refrain from violence and engage in constructive, inclusive dialogue to seek a peaceful resolution to their differences.

Australia’s intention to declare Hizballah as a terrorist organization is an important step in limiting the group’s ability to finance, plan, and execute terrorist attacks. We applaud Australia for taking this step and encourage others to follow suit.

Colombia's 2016 Peace Accord ended five decades of conflict and represents the path to lasting peace. The U.S. has a long history of supporting the Peace Accord, and we value its continuing implementation and achievements thus far.
