In Washington, D.C., Foreign Minister Robert Dussey sought to strengthen partnerships with African American elected officials during the Congressional Black Caucus annual conference, aiming to turn dialogue into long-term cooperation. Simultaneously, diaspora groups including Togo Debout USA, Mouvement Patriotes Togolais, and Pyramide Togo conducted advocacy missions to U.S. congressional offices. Led by Claudine Y. Mathey, these groups raised concerns regarding human rights and democratic stability, specifically questioning the government’s response to a January 2026 ECOWAS Court of Justice ruling. On the international stage at the 81st session of the United Nations General Assembly, Minister Dussey promoted the ‘Correct the Map’ initiative. Supported by the African Group, the resolution passed with 164 votes and aims to ensure world maps more accurately represent the dimensions of continents, particularly Africa. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-27: Togo diplomatic and diaspora activities in the US and UN Togolese diaspora groups advocated for human rights in Washington, while Foreign Minister Robert Dussey celebrated the UN's adoption of the ‘Correct the Map’ initiative in New York. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/togo-diplomatic-and-diaspora-activities-in-the-us-and-un ### 2026-09-21: Togo seeks strengthened ties with US officials in Washington Togolese Foreign Minister Robert Dussey sought to strengthen ties with African American officials in Washington, while diaspora groups advocated for human rights and democratic reforms in Togo. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/togo-seeks-strengthened-ties-with-us-officials-in-washington --- Cite as: Togo diplomatic and diaspora activities.
