成立休斯敦非洲外交官論壇之籌議

自從我被任命為非洲幾內亞共和國駐休斯敦名譽總領事以來，始終懷抱一個信念——要推動非洲與德州之間更緊密的交流與合作。多年來，我親眼見證了休斯敦在能源、教育、科技與文化領域的蓬勃發展，也深感非洲各國在此大地上尚有無限的潛力與機遇。

如今，我們擁有了堅實的合作平台——美南新聞集團、環球第一銀行、休斯敦城市大學，以及德州農業廳等單位的參與與支持。這些力量的匯聚，使我更加確信：「休斯敦非洲外交官論壇」的誕生，不僅是時勢所趨，更是一項注定成功的創舉。

我們構想由駐休斯敦的各國總領事與外交代表共同牽頭——包括幾內亞、尼日利亞、安哥拉、衣索比亞與迦納等國——透過此一平台，非洲各國的外交官將與美國地方政府、企業與學術機構開啟更深層次的對話，為未來合作奠定新基石。

我們決定以國際貿易中心為常設基地，積極展開籌備工作，設立秘書處與聯絡樞紐，擬定章程與年度計畫，並同步與市府及各駐館協調創會峰會的時間表與議程。

這不僅是一場外交的行動，更是一項文化與歷史的連結。非洲與休斯敦，將在這座國際城市的中心，譜寫一段跨越大西洋的友誼新篇章。

On The Formation Of The Houston African Diplomats Forum

Since my appointment as the Honorary Consul General of the Republic of Guinea in Houston, I have carried with me a steadfast vision—to strengthen the exchange and cooperation between Africa and the State of Texas. Over the years, I have witnessed Houston’s remarkable growth in energy, education, technology, and culture, and I deeply believe that the African continent has immense potential to engage with this vibrant city and the entire State of Texas on a most high and mutually beneficial level.

Today, we stand on strong foundations. With the support of Southern News Group, Global One Bank, Houston City University, and the Texas Department of Agriculture, I am confident that the establishment of the Houston African Diplomats Forum is not only timely, but surely destined for success.

Our initiative will be led by the consuls and diplomatic representatives of several African nations stationed in Houston—including Guinea, Nigeria, Angola, Ethiopia, and Ghana. Through this platform, African diplomats will be able to engage in closer communication and dialogue with local governments, business leaders, and academic institutions across the United States while laying a new cornerstone for future cooperation and shared progress.

We have decided to base our operations at the International Trade Center, where preparations will begin in earnest. A secretariat and coordination office will be established to draft the forum’s charter, define its structure, and plan the inaugural summit in full cooperation and consultation with the City of Houston and participating consulates.

This is more than a diplomatic initiative—it is a cultural bridge and a historical connection. In the heart of Houston, Africa and America will together compose a new chapter of friendship that spans the Atlantic.
