The National U.S. – Arab Chamber of Commerce (NUSACC) – America’s top commercial gateway to the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) – recently led a delegation of Arab Ambassadors to the World Food Prize in Des Moines, Iowa. The visit provided an opportunity to promote commercial and political relations with the State of Iowa, which is #2 in food production in the United States (based on cash receipts), selling about $40 billion annually in agricultural products.
This year’s World Food Prize (WFP) placed a special emphasis on the continent of Africa. In this spirit, the NUSACC delegation was led by North African Ambassadors, including Her Excellency Cissé Boide (Mauritania) and Her Excellency Hanène Tajouri Bessassi (Tunisia). The ambassadors were part of the V.V.I.P. processional at the World Food Prize Laureates Ceremony, which included Her Excellency Samia Suluhu Hassan, President of Tanzania, and His Excellency Julius Maada Wonie Bio, President of Sierra Leone. In Iowa, the Ambassadors held meetings with top state government officials, such as: Hon. Kim Reynolds, Governor of the State of Iowa; Hon. Mike Naig, Iowa’s Secretary of Agriculture; Hon. Paul Pate, Iowa’s Secretary of State. To read the full report, please click here. |
