France ambassador to Cameroon, Christine Robichon, on Thursday presented
11 fully-equipped military vehicles to Cameroon worth 318 million FCFA.
According to Joseph Beti Assomo, Minister Delegated at the Presidency
for Defence, the equipment included communication equipment, helmets and
flak jackets intended for the local army’s special units.
This material support is one of the concrete signs of Paris strong solidarity with its partner in fighting Boko Haram in the region, according to the French Embassy in Cameroon.
As part of the crusade against terrorism, and with the strengthening of military cooperation observed last year, France has trained and equipped special units, especially in the field of mine clearance and information sharing.
France and Cameroon signed a defense partnership agreement in May 21, 2009 and French leader François Hollande, during a visit to Yaoundé on July 3, 2015, announced the densification of solidarity in the fight against the Islamist group.
