履行在美国-非洲领导人峰会期间做出的承诺

美国政府致力于履行承诺。为此，拜登政府正在新任一名美国总统美非领导人峰会执行特别代表，以协调执行工作。这一高级职务将确保这一得到强化的伙伴关系不仅体现在言辞上，而且体现在行动上。 

美国国务院将任命约翰尼·卡森大使担任这一职务。卡森大使在过去37年的职业生涯中一直致力于非洲外交，曾担任负责非洲事务的助理国务卿以及驻肯尼亚、乌干达和津巴布韦大使。在他职业生涯的早期，他还曾在博茨瓦纳、莫桑比克和尼日利亚工作，并且曾在坦桑尼亚担任和平队志愿者。

卡森大使将与美国和非洲政府、公民社会、私营部门和侨民代表进行协调，以确保始于峰会期间的重要对话能够带来持久的行动。 

Following through on commitments made during the U.S.-Africa Leaders Summit

The U.S. Government is dedicated to following through on these commitments.  To that end, the Biden administration is establishing a new Special Presidential Representative for U.S.-Africa Leaders Summit Implementation to coordinate implementation efforts.  This senior position will ensure this strengthened partnership manifests not only in word, but also in deed.  

The Department of State will appoint Ambassador Johnnie Carson to this role.  Ambassador Carson dedicated his 37-year career to African diplomacy, serving as the former Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs and Ambassador to Kenya, Uganda, and Zimbabwe.  Earlier in his career, he also served in Botswana, Mozambique, and Nigeria, and was a Peace Corps volunteer in Tanzania.  

Ambassador Carson will coordinate with U.S. and African government, civil society, private sector, and diaspora representatives to ensure that the important dialogues that began during the Summit lead to durable action.
