National Assembly: Chadian ambassador bids farewell

His Excellency Yoosem-Kontou Noudjiamlao was received by Cavaye Yeguie Djibril, on Thursday August 7.

The out-going Chadian Ambassador to Cameroon who also doubled as the Dean of the Diplomatic Corps, Yoosem-Kontou Noudjiamlao, has expressed joy at the hospitality of Cameroon and its people, referring to them as “loving.”

He told the press after bidding farewell to House Speaker, Cavaye Yeguie Djibril, yesterday August 7, that his stay in Cameroon was full of delight and also beneficial. “The House Speaker wished me a happy return, and I expressed regret at leaving a dynamic and beautiful people,” the Chadian diplomat said.

According to Yoosem-Kontou, Cameroon has every reason to be called “Africa in Miniature.”

In Cameroon since 2007, Yoosem-Kontou built solid cooperation between Cameroon and Chad, cemented by exchange visits between the two Heads of State, he noted. At 64, Yoosem-Kontou is going back to his country. He was Ambassador in almost 10 countries.

Cameroon and Chad share borders in the northern part of the country and cohabitation is good. Borders, according to the Chadian diplomat usually divides, but that of Cameroon and Chad act as uniting factor between the two countries and their peoples.

The July 22-23, 2014 ad hoc meeting of experts on the identification and demarcation of the border between the two countries, according to him, is just a step to seal ties.

Some Cameroon and Chad boundaries are earmarked for demarcation because of new roads such as the Ngaoundere and Touboro, right to Moundou in Chad, the new bridge connecting N’Djamena in Chad to Kousseri in the Logone and Chari Division of the Far North Region, as well as the rail road from Ngaoundere to N’Djamena, the Chadian capital.
