The British High Commission in Cameroon maintains and develops relations between the UK and Cameroon.

We offer consular support to British nationals across four countries, including through a network of resident honorary consuls:

  • Cameroon, with whom the UK has historically had close and friendly ties, and with which it shares a binding colonial past
  • Gabon, with whom the UK has historic diplomatic, commercial and climate change ties, and where the UK opened a dedicated commercial office in 2012
  • Chad, which emerged from conflict in 2009, and is becoming an increasingly close partner on regional security issues
  • Equatorial Guinea, with whom the UK has commercial links

In Cameroon, we support the country’s goal of becoming an emerging economy by 2035 by supporting sustainable democratic reform, challenging corruption, supporting adherence to international human rights standards and improving commercial co-operation. We work closely together as partners in the Commonwealth.

In Gabon, our dedicated commercial office is increasing trade between our two countries, building on existing business links, as part of Gabon’s commitment to becoming an emerging economy by 2025. We also work together on climate change issues.

In Chad, we work closely with diplomatic partners, the UN – including on the UN Security Council - and other agencies to support Chad’s development following the country’s emergence from conflict in 2009. We also engage with the Chadian Government on wider issues in the Sahel, including development and counter-terrorism, recent events in Mali and on Sudan.

In Equatorial Guinea, we are working to develop closer commercial links to support UK prosperity and pro-poor development. We also work with international partners to support improved governance and respect for human rights.

Across the sub-region, we support co-operation on climate change and energy security.
