US vice-president to visit three African states

US Vice-President Kamala Harris plans to visit three African states, in what will be her first trip to the continent since she took office more than two years ago.

Ms Harris' visit to Ghana, Tanzania and Zambia from 25 March to 2 April will focus on efforts to "expand access to the digital economy, support climate adaptation and resilience, and strengthen business ties and investment", her office said in a statement.
