Hu thanked the Cameroon Government for its one-China policy and support for China's reunification. He said Cameroon is not only an important country in Central Africa, but also one of China's important co-operative partners in that region.

Cameroon has made positive contributions to the settlement of regional and international issues as well to the peace and development of Central Africa, Hu added.

He stressed China will push forward to develop Sino-African relations from the strategic view of enhancing South-South co-operation.

Cameroon fully agrees with China's suggestion on further improving friendly co-operation and will work hard with China to create a new phase of bilateral relations to a new high, said Biya.

After their meeting, the two leaders attended a signing ceremony for three co-operative agreements, including one on economic and technical co-operation.
