Foreign Policy
Cameroon's foreign policy prioritizes regime stability, sovereignty, and resistance to external interference. France remains the most important bilateral partner, providing military cooperation, economic ties, and diplomatic support. However, Cameroon has diversified relationships with China (a major infrastructure partner), Russia, and Gulf states.
Regionally, Cameroon is the dominant power in CEMAC and plays a leading role in the Gulf of Guinea maritime security architecture. The country participates in the Multinational Joint Task Force (MNJTF) against Boko Haram alongside Nigeria, Niger, Chad, and Benin. Relations with Nigeria -- Cameroon's most important neighbor -- are generally cooperative, anchored by the ICJ's 2002 ruling on the Bakassi Peninsula (awarded to Cameroon and peacefully transferred in 2008).
