History of the U.S. embassy and consulates in Lomé

The U.S. recognized Togo's independence on April 27, 1960. On the same day, diplomatic relations were established, and the American consulate in Lomé was elevated to embassy status with Jesse M. MacKnight as Chargé d'Affaires ad interim. While an embassy in Cameroon was initially dually accredited to Togo, a separate ambassador for Togo, resident in Lomé, was appointed in 1961. The United States and Togo have maintained generally good relations since then, with the U.S. Embassy in Lomé continuing to foster cooperation.
