The first ever UK-Cameroon Trade and Investment Forum in London will aim at exploring business opportunities in the Energy, Agriculture, Infrastructure and Tourism sectors of Cameroon by the over 200 UK companies and members of Her Majesty’s Government.

The British High Commissioner to Cameroon, H.E. Brian Olley chair the first discussion session on the 7th of May.

A delegation of about 150 from Cameroon comprising six government ministers, and the private sector is expected in the UK.

It is worth noting that this positive UK investment interest on Cameroon is the result of the successful 2013 UK-Cameroon Joint Commission that took place in London in which some 150 UK companies took part.
