Cameroonian President Paul Biya held talks with Gabon’s transitional President Brice Oligui Nguema in the capital Yaounde, where they discussed further bilateral cooperation, the Cameroonian presidency said in a statement.
In a post released late Wednesday on the X social media platform, formerly known as Twitter, Biya said the talks were “cordial and fruitful.”
The leaders reached consensus on opening a “new, dynamic” diplomatic relationship, the statement said.
Cameroon and Gabon are “strongly committed … to seeking and finding common ground on many bilateral and multilateral subjects of mutual interest,” the statement said.
Biya and Nguema also discussed stronger socio-economic cooperation, measures to boost trade, efforts to reinforce trans-border and regional security, and the enhancement of sub-regional integration, the statement said.
Nguema arrived in Cameroon Wednesday afternoon for a 24-hour official visit.
