The US Ambassador to Namibia, Randy Berry has dismissed claims that the recent high-level visits by US officials are aimed at countering the growing influence of China and Russia on the African continent.

Of late, the African continent has seen high-level visits from the top echelons of the US government amid geo-political tensions between the US, China and Russia.

Earlier this month, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken visited Niger where he announced USD150 million in direct assistance to Africa's Sahel region.
