On Thursday, Ambassador Kirk met with members of the Trade Advisory Committee on Africa (“TACA”). The discussion included ways to enhance the U.S.–Africa Trade and Investment relationship and the African Growth Opportunity Act (AGOA). Members shared their views about AGOA, signed in May 2000, and the upcoming AGOA Forum, which will take place in Lusaka, Zambia this summer.
Also participating in the meeting were Ambassador Demetrios Marantis and Assistant U.S. Trade Representative for African Affairs Florie Liser.
