Niamey, Niger, October 26, 2021
It’s very nice to be here with you today. I had the great pleasure of meeting with President Bazoum just now in a bilateral meeting, as well as several other members of his administration, including the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and we also met with other ministers in the government, including the Minister of National Defense over the course of my two-day visit here because I started my visit yesterday with the UN Security Council. I am so appreciative of President Bazoum and everyone else for taking the time to discuss matters of common interest.
