(Business in Cameroon) - The Cameroonian Parliament has just been called to authorise the Cameroonian Head of State, Paul Biya, to ratify the agreement signed on 17^th March 2016 between Italy and Cameroon, to exempt from visas nationals from both countries holding diplomatic or service passports.

This agreement concluded during the first visit in Cameroon by the Italian Head of State, Sergio Matarella, thus authorises holders of passports in the above-mentioned categories, to freely move between both countries, for visits of maximum 90 days.

As a reminder, the Cameroonian student community in Italy, with 4,000 members, is considered as the first in Africa and 5^th worldwide. These past years, Italy has intensified its economic cooperation with Cameroon, in particular with the establishment of some companies and various service offers made to the government.
