LUANDA, Angola: US Secretary of State Antony Blinken sought to reinforce a growing partnership with Angola on Thursday, promoting a major infrastructure project and coordinating on conflict mediation, as he capped a tour of African democracies.

Blinken had also visited Nigeria, Ivory Coast and Cape Verde on a week-long trip meant to demonstrate a sustained US interest in the continent, as China and Russia gain influence and the Israel-Hamas war consumes Washington's attention.
