As the global community continues to grapple with the coronavirus (COVID-19), the Atlantic Council is open for business. Our business, meetings, and events, however, are occurring virtually. For more information, please read an update from our President and CEO.
As a continuation of our African Conversations Series, the Africa Center invites you to a discussion on US-Africa policy, featuring Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs Ms. Akunna Cook.
The daughter of Nigerian immigrants, Cook embodies the diversity and vibrance that US-Africa policy can represent and will articulate the vision of the administration’s Africa policy in its early days, while responding to pan-African topics of leadership, democracy, human rights, entrepreneurship, and the creative industries, among others.
This series also serves to introduce the Africa Center’s new team and vision under Director Ambassador Rama Yade, building on Africa Day conversations that featured Amb. Linda Thomas-Greenfield and Dana L. Banks.
