| Senegalese president &Biya |
Senegalese president MackySall paid a brief
working visit to Cameroon last week to review relations between Cameroon and
his country. On his way from the Antananarivo francophonie summit which rounded
up last weekend in Madagascar, president MackySall stopped over in Yaounde. He
arrived at the YaoundeNsimalen airport at about 1; 30 pm where he was received
by the Prime minister head of government Philemon Yang with whom he had a brief
discussion at the presidential lounge amidst singing and dancing from the
Senegalese community in Yaounde who turned out in their numbers at the
courtyard of the presidential lounge to assure their president of the support of
the Senegalese Diaspora to his project of emergence.
Shortly
after his arrival and the warm welcome, President MackySall headed for the
Unity Palace where he had a tete-a-tete with President Paul Biya and was
treated to a state dinner by the presidential couple before his return to the
air port and final departure to Senegal.
In an interview with the press at the air port
while awaiting flight, the Senegalese president told the media that his visit
was a technical one and very necessary for him to express his fraternal
greetings and crystallize friendship that has always existed between his
country Senegal and Cameroon. The tete a tete with President Biya he said was
an occasion for him to discuss burning issues plaguing the continent like the
fight against terrorism and its consequences, and to present his condolences
and that of the Senegalese government to Cameroons head of state following the
tragic Eseka train accident and the victims of the numerous terrorist attacks
from the northern part of the country.
MackySall
promised to come back on an official or friendly visit in future. The plane
transporting the Senegalese president took off at exactly 5; 45 pm from the
Yaoundé Nsimalen airport for Senegal.
