A U.S. Congressional delegation led by Senator James Austin Scott has paid a visit to Burkina Faso as the country reports recent gains in its fight against insecurity.

The delegation met on Friday with the President of the Transitional Legislative Assembly to discuss security and development priorities.

Talks focused on strengthening U.S.-Burkina Faso relations and exploring support for ongoing counterterrorism and stability efforts.

The visit comes as authorities in Ouagadougou highlight progress in reclaiming areas once affected by extremist violence.
