China, Cameroon to boost cooperation

YAOUNDE, Cameroon - Chinese President Xi Jinping's special representative Yang Jiechi and Cameroonian President Paul Biya agreed on Friday to further boost bilateral cooperation.

Yang, also a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and director of the Office of the Foreign Affairs Commission of the CPC Central Committee, said the China-Cameroon friendship has a long history and has withstood the test of time and international vicissitudes.

President Paul Biya paid a visit to China last year and attended the Beijing Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation, reaching an important consensus with Xi, said Yang, adding that the bilateral relations have come to a new starting point in history with important opportunities for development.
