US S ecretary of State Condoleezza Rice is to travel to Senegal, Sudan, Israel and the Palestinian territories from later this month, a US Department of State statement reported yesterday.

In Dakar, Senegal she will participate in the 2005 US Sub-Saharan Africa Trade and Economic Cooperation Forum being held under the auspices of the Africa Growth and Opportunities Act (Agoa).

The Agoa is a key pillar of the Bush administration's policy to spur economic development, alleviate poverty, and encourage trade between the US and Sub-Saharan countries, the statement said In Sudan, Rice will emphasize US support for implementation of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement and will urge further steps to resolve the crisis in Darfur.

Her travel to Israel and the Palestinian territories will continue US efforts to spur the parties towards cooperation as part of the disengagement from Gaza and parts of the West Bank.
