The City of Houston marks its 4th Annual Houston Africa Day celebration today by hosting the continent of Africa and the African Union Ambassador to the United States, Her Excellency Ambassador Hilda Suka-Mafudze, and 13 Ambassadors from African nations to Houston. 

Africa Day, also known as African Unity Day, commemorates the founding of the Organization of African Unity in 1963.

Houston Africa Day, held annually by Mayor Sylvester Turner, showcases the diversity of the nation's 4th most populous city and its global presence. 

Africa Day will begin with a business forum. Houston is Africa's 3rd largest trade partner and speakers will discuss opportunities for future business. 

During the evening celebration, Houston will showcase the different regions of the continent through arts, culture, food and heritage celebrations including 'A taste of Africa,' in keeping with the African Union 2021 Africa Day theme of Arts, Culture and Heritage.

We are so proud as Houstonians that we take great pride in our rich diversity and today is a chance to showcase Houston’s ties to the African continent.

As Honorary Consul of Guinea In Houston, we will also host a reception and business forum for Guinea Ambassador Yansane at ITC on Friday, May 28th. Many invited guests will attend and talk about how to invest in Guinea.

The countries on the African continent are facing very difficult challenges these days, especially due to the coronavirus pandemic. We really need to help them to overcome their challenges.

Guinea is a West African country with abundant natural resources. Under the leadership of President Alpha Conde the government is working on many investment projects and is waiting to meet with new investors.
