“It is an honour to serve as a delegate from Cameroon, contributing to discussions on strengthening democratic institutions, promoting civic space, and defending human rights around the world.”

“I remain committed to these principles and to the vision of a peaceful, democratic, and prosperous Cameroon where every citizen’s rights and dignity are protected.”
