ALGIERS- Algeria and Cameroon signed, on Monday in Algiers, a framework cooperation agreement in the fields of transport and meteorology.
The agreement was signed by the Minister of Transport, Youcef Cherfa, with his Cameroonian counterpart, Jean Ernest Masséna. The aim of the agreement is to establish a framework for cooperation between the two countries, particularly in the areas of research, knowledge exchange, and training.

This agreement is a significant step towards strengthening the relationship between Algeria and Cameroon. It will promote knowledge exchange and training, which will ultimately benefit both countries. The establishment of a legal framework for trade will also facilitate the movement of goods and services between the two countries. Overall, this agreement is a positive development for both Algeria and Cameroon.
