The United States says it is committed to supporting regional integration in Africa, seeing it as essential for the continent's economic development and prosperity.

At a conference on the African Growth and Opportunity Act (Agoa) in Johannesburg, US officials said they were backing the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), even though there will be variations on country specific trading arrangements.
