In the photos shared by the Presidency on Wednesday, Buhari could be seen in a meeting with Biden and the US Secretary of State Antony Blinken at the White House.

The US-Africa Leaders Summit which started on Tuesday, December 13, is expected to demonstrate the US commitment to Africa and underscore the importance of US-Africa relations and increased cooperation.

Buhari departed from Abuja on Sunday to join other African leaders for the summit aimed at rebooting US relations on the continent in Washington DC.

The US-Africa summit, which began in 2014, is the biggest international gathering in Washington since the COVID-19 pandemic and the most substantial commitment by a US administration to boosting its influence in Africa for almost a decade.

The summit, according to the US government, “will demonstrate the US enduring commitment to Africa and will underscore the importance of US-Africa relations and increased cooperation on shared priorities.”

KanyiDaily recalls that President Muhammadu Buhari also joined Joe Biden to watch the World Cup semifinal match between France and Morroco on Wednesday.
