Hosted by the U.S.–Africa Allies Foundation — bringing together leaders from the United States, all African nations, Israel, and the global African Diaspora.
We are pleased to announce that on June 11–12, 2026, at the United States Capitol in Washington, D.C., the U.S.–Africa Allies Foundation will host the Founding Summit of the U.S.–Africa Strategic Council.
The Council is envisioned as a values-based platform bringing together leaders from the United States, all African nations, Israel, and the global African Diaspora to advance trade, investment, leadership cooperation, and long-term economic stability grounded in shared ethical principles.
Rooted in family-centered, country-centered, and God-centered values, the Council affirms the importance of strong families, national sovereignty, democratic governance, and strategic partnership as the foundation for lasting prosperity and security across both continents.
The family unit is the irreplaceable foundation of stable, prosperous societies. Every initiative flows from this conviction.
National sovereignty, patriotism, and democratic governance form the bedrock of sustainable partnerships between nations.
Leadership grounded in faith, reverence for God, and moral responsibility produces justice, accountability, and lasting prosperity.
The U.S.–Africa Strategic Council will serve as a permanent platform for high-level dialogue, strategic cooperation, and practical partnership between the United States, African nations, Israel, and the global African Diaspora.
Its mandate encompasses four core areas of cooperation, each grounded in shared values and a long-term vision for mutual prosperity and stability.
Facilitating concrete trade flows, cross-border investment, and economic partnerships between U.S. and African enterprises.
Building a network of principled leaders across government, business, civil society, and faith communities.
