History of the U.S embassy and consulates in Luanda

The U.S. relationship with Angola was initially strained during the Cold War, with the U.S. not recognizing the MPLA government. Following the end of the Cold War and the Angolan Civil War, full diplomatic relations were established in 1993. This led to the opening of the U.S. Embassy in Luanda, Angola's capital. The Embassy serves as the sole U.S. diplomatic mission in the country, fostering ties in trade, security, and democracy.
