The United States of America has scheduled a digital press briefing with African Command leaders to advance U.S.-Africa security cooperation.

A statement on Tuesday stated that the briefing was meant to discuss the importance of their engagements in Angola and Namibia.

“Please join us on Monday, July 28, 2025, for a digital press briefing with U.S. Africa Command’s Deputy Commander Lt. Gen. John W. Brennan and the Deputy to the Commander for Civil-Military Engagement, Ambassador Robert Scott,” the advisory read.

It added, “During the briefing, Lt. Gen. Brennan and Ambassador Scott will discuss the importance of their engagements in Angola and Namibia, underscoring U.S. Africa Command’s continued commitment to strengthening partnerships in Africa to promote stability and collective defense through cost-effective, African-led solutions that minimize direct U.S. military involvement.”

AFRICOM, the U.S military command committed to military operations and security cooperation on the African continent, works with African nations as well as regional organisations to address challenges including conflict, terrorism and humanitarian crises.
