Guinea is laying the groundwork for an ambitious economic partnership with the United States, with several large-scale projects in the pipeline involving major American firms.
According to government sources, Conakry’s diplomacy is currently focused on boosting cooperation with Washington in sectors ranging from transportation to agriculture. One of the flagship initiatives under discussion is the opening of a direct air route between Guinea and the United States, a move aimed at facilitating travel, trade, and tourism between the two countries.
In parallel, the Guinean government is actively courting U.S. investors to inject capital into the West African nation’s agricultural sector. Authorities say the goal is to modernize farming practices, increase exports, and reduce the country’s reliance on food imports.
“This is a new chapter for Guinea’s economic diplomacy,” a senior government official told The USA New Times. “We want to leverage our natural potential and strategic location to attract long-term investments, and the U.S. is a key partner in that vision.”
The initiatives come as part of Guinea’s broader plan to diversify its economy, which has traditionally relied heavily on mining particularly bauxite exports. Officials hope that deeper ties with Washington will help unlock funding, technology transfer, and market access for non-mineral sectors.
While no official timeline has been released for the launch of the air route or the start of new projects, sources indicate that preliminary negotiations are already well underway.
If successful, the collaboration could mark a turning point in Guinea-U.S. relations, creating opportunities for businesses on both sides and positioning Conakry as a growing hub for West African trade.
