几内亚位於西非西岸， 人口有一千二百多万， 境内景色优美有非洲小瑞士之称， 非洲最重要的河流甘比亚河、 尼日河皆发源於此， 也是非洲少数天然资源极富有之土地， 农產品有稻米、香蕉、 咖啡、 矿產，是铝土世界藏量最多的国家。

近三年来 ，本人被几内亚政府任命為几内亚驻休斯敦名誉总领事， 由於二年来之疫情关係， 早已安排之访问几内亚行程一再拖延， 葛巴大使此行已允诺将积极安排我们组成代表团前往访问 ，其中包括投资观光事业、 矿產、 基建 、教育媒体等项目。

十月二日是几内亚独立纪念日， 驻休斯敦总领馆将举行庆祝酒会加强美几两国之交流。

葛巴大使先后参观了休斯敦市及国际区， 她对德州之经济繁荣留下非常深刻的印象。

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.
