São Tomé and Príncipe–United States relations
- São Tomé and Príncipe–United States relations
São Tomé and Príncipe-United States relations are bilateral relations between São Tomé and Príncipe and the United States.
The United States was among the first countries to accredit an ambassador to São Tomé and Príncipe. The U.S. Ambassador based at the embassy in Libreville, Gabon is accredited to Sao Tome on a non-resident basis. The Ambassador and Embassy staff make regular visits to the islands. The first Sao Tomean Ambassador to the United States, resident in New York City, was accredited in 1985. In 1986, Sao Tomean President Manuel Pinto da Costa visited the United States and met with then-Vice President George H.W. Bush.
U.S. relations with Sao Tome are excellent. In 1992, Voice of America (VOA) and the government of São Tomé signed a long-term agreement for the establishment of a relay transmitter station in Sao Tome; VOA currently broadcasts to much of Africa from this facility. The U.S. government also maintains a number of smaller assistance programs in Sao Tome, administered through non-governmental organizations or the Embassy in Libreville.
Principal U.S. officials include:
* Ambassador--Eunice Reddick
* Deputy chief of mission--Nathan Holt
* Management officer--Charles Morrill
* Public affairs/economic/commercial officer--John Corrao
* Defense attaché--Rene Dechaine
* Consular officer--Grace Genuino
