(Business in Cameroon) - During 2017, the Cameroonian State plans to open new embassies in Sudan, Tanzania and Uganda, as well as consular representations in Kuwait and Lebanon, we learned when the Minister of External Relations defended the 2017 budget in Parliament.
This diplomatic deployment, we learned, is in line with the Cameroonian government’s ambition to intensify the cooperation with the new partners throughout the coming year, whether in Africa, Asia or Europe.
To achieve this, the government submitted for approval by the Cameroonian members of Parliament a budget of FCfa 38.116 billion in 2017 for the Minister of External Relations; against FCfa 30.017 billion in 2016, an increase of approximately 28%.
