Ambassador Hosung Lee further disclosed to the press that Korean Members of Parliament will soon be visiting Cameroon. This, he said, follows the creation of an association of Korean and Cameroonian parliamentarians. House Speaker, Hon. Cavaye Yeguie Djibril and Ambassador Hosung Lee also discussed the situation in the Korean Peninsula, specifically relations between North and South Korea.
Since the re-opening of the Korean embassy in Yaounde in 2008, bilateral relations have greatly been strengthened. The Korean diplomat said that for the moment, his country is providing small-scale technical assistance to Cameroon. He stated that their giant projects in Cameroon are being launched this year, citing the establishment of a Medical Emergency Centre at the Yaounde Central Hospital. Another project will be the establishment of information technology public infrastructure for e-government. Hosung Lee further revealed that the Korean government has decided to provide a concessionary loan to the government of Cameroon. The Korean government will soon start the construction of Vocational Training Centres in Douala, Limbe and Sangmelima, he said.
