The Minister of External Relations of Cameroon H.E MBELLA MBELLA leads a delegation to the second World Refugee Forum which is being held from December 13 to 15, 2023 in Geneva. Cameroon, at the invitation of Mr. Filippo Grandi, United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, was once again associated with this global meeting, around a plural issue which concerns the entire Community: international protection. It is for this purpose that Cameroon, which ranks 7th in Africa and 19th in the world among States hosting the refugee population on the ground, wanted to reaffirm its full availability to significantly improve the living conditions of the refugees he welcomes. Hence the reason for the participation of the Republic of Cameroon in the second edition of the World Forum on Refugees.

The Secretary General of the Ministry of External Relations, H.E. Chinmoun Oumar, chaired in Yaounde, on behalf of the Minister of External Relations, the opening ceremony of the Workshop on the Convention on Cluster Munitions (CCM).
Jointly organised by the Government of the Republic of Cameroon and the Government of Iraq, with the support of the Implementing Unit of said Convention, the workshop follows on the heels of Recommendations arrived at during the 10th Assembly of States Parties, held in September 2022 in Geneva, Switzerland.
The two-day workshop shall mainly focus on giving the Convention universal significance, by extending it out to French-speaking African countries.
Cameroon will avail itself of this opportunity to share with non-States Parties and non-Signatory A countries to the Convention, its wealth of experience regarding disarmament in Africa, for a safer world, free of these weapons that continue to wreck havoc and claim the lives of civilian populations, who tend to be the primary victims.
