Guinea’s New Ambassador Visited Houston

Fatoumata Kaba, the first female ambassador to the United States from the country of Guinea visited Houston, Texas, on Wednesday. This was her first visit to Texas after taking office. She visited the Southern News Group world headquarters, the International Trade Center and the newly opened Global One Bank. The Ambassador also had an in-depth exchange of views with local community and economic leaders on how to strengthen trade and cultural exchanges between the United States and Guinea. 

Guinea is located on the west coast of West Africa with a population more than 12 million. It is also known as Africa ‘s 'Little Switzerland.' Africa's most important River, the Gambia River, originates from here. It is also one of the few lands that is rich in natural resources in Africa. Agriculture products including rice, bananas, coffee and minerals are the country's leading exports.  

Ambassador Kaba announced at the meeting that the new government will honor all the treaties signed with foreign countries and will welcome new investors to come to Guinea. 

Over the past three years I have been appointed as the Honorary Consul  of Guinea in Houston. Due to the epidemic, our visit to Guinea has been repeatedly delayed. The ambassador promised to actively arrange for our trade delegation to visit and study the investment opportunities in tourism, education, minerals as well as other projects.

October 2nd is Independence Day of Guinea. The consulate in Houston will hold a celebration to strengthen the relationship between the two countries. 

Ambassador Kaba visited Houston's downtown and International District. she was very impressed with the economic prosperity of Texas.
