Turkey To Swell Economic Links With Cameroon

Prime Minister, Philemon Yang, yesterday had discussions with the country’s new Ambassador to Cameroon.

The New Ambassador of Turkey to Cameroon, Atilay Ersan, says he would work to promote to a “higher level”, friendly relations between his country and Cameroon in the political, economic, social, cultural and military sectors. Atilay Ersan who arrived in Cameroon last January 12 and presented the advance copies of letters of credence to the Minister of External Relations the following day, is the first Ambassador of Turkey to Cameroon with residence in Yaounde as others have hitherto been resident in Nigeria.

Prime Minister, Philemon Yang and Atilay Ersan, yesterday, February 23, during the diplomat’s maiden courtesy visit, reviewed relations between Cameroon and Turkey. The Ambassador in an interview after the audience, said “trade relations should be increased between Cameroon and Turkey because presently the volume of trade does not reflect the potentials of the two countries”. Cameroon and Turkey have been having trade exchanges during trade fairs organised in Cameroon’s cities of Douala and Yaounde and also in Turkey. Atilay Ersan would also like to promote relations in the political domain. He expressed hopes that in the coming days there could be bilateral visits between Cameroonian and Turkish officials. He further said, “cultural relations are hardly existing in a good manner but there are so many things that we can do and create”.

Turkey is becoming more and more attracted to the African continent as before, the country had only 12 embassies all over Africa. “In 2007, we decided to declare 2008 to 2009 a year of Africa and open up new embassies”, Atilay Ersan said, stating that within the framework of the policy, Turkey has opened eight new embassies in Africa. He disclosed that in 2010 and in the coming years, they plan to open five more embassies in the continent.
