Consulate-General of the Republic of Equatorial Guinea in Houston

The Consulate-General of the Republic of Equatorial Guinea in Houston is Equatorial Guinea's diplomatic facility in Houston, Texas, United States.

The President of Equatorial Guinea, Teodoro Obiang, inaugurated the consulate in 2009. The consulate opened because of the oil industry ties between Houston and Equatorial Guinea, the third largest producer of crude oil in Sub-Saharan Africa. In addition the population of Equatorial Guinean citizens, under 100, is the largest Equatorial Guinean population in the United States.[1]
