The dialogue provided an opportunity to thoroughly assess the transport sector cooperation between the two nations. Key topics included the outcomes of the N’Djamena Forum, a review of recommendations from the previous 2024 edition held in Kribi, the operational status of CamTchad, the condition of the Trans-Cameroonian corridor, and the persistent difficulties encountered by freight operators along the vital Douala-N’Djamena route.
