The partnership between the United States of America and the Republic of the Congo is as robust as ever, and it grows stronger every day.  In just another example of our close partnership, the U.S. and the Republic of the Congo have agreed to increase the maximum validity period for business and tourism visas for Congolese and U.S. citizen travelers to two years!  This significant step forward demonstrates our mutual trust and deep cultural connections.  As a result of this agreement, we look forward to increased commercial and cultural exchange that will benefit both countries for years to come.
