CAMEROON AMBASSADOR IN THE USA TO VISIT GEORGIA THIS SPRING

Mr. Sammy Ngalame and His Excellency Ambassador Foe Atangana.

Plans are currently under way to receive His Excellency B C Foe Atangana, the Cameroon Ambassador to the United States of America in Georgia. Following an Audience with the Ambassador, at the Cameroon Embassy in January 2009, Mr. Sammy Ngalame the CPDM South Eastern Sub-Section President invited His Excellency on behalf of the Cameroonian Community in Georgia for a visit.

Ambassador Foe Atangana accepted the invitation and will be happy to visit Georgia to dialogue with the community. This meeting will provide a platform for Cameroonians to share their concerns and help improve relations with the Embassy.

One of the goals of CPDM South Eastern Sub-Section and CPDM USA is to push for Dual Nationality for Cameroonians in the United States. We hope that the Ambassador will underscore the importance of Dual Citizenship to the Legislative branch of the government as they continue their deliberations on this issue in this legislative year.

Another issue we need to highlight to the Ambassador is the need for the South Eastern region to have a Consular Service to help facilitate the needs of the Cameroonian community as well as the needs of potential investors, tourists and others interested in Cameroon.

It is therefore vital that all Cameroonians come together not only to welcome the Ambassador but to listen to his vision for Cameroonians in the United States of America.

The CPDM South Eastern Sub-Section is reaching out to the Entire community to participate in this meeting with the Ambassador. Time, date and place will be announced as soon as that information is available.

Volunteers are needed to help plan this visit. You do not have to be a CPDM militant to attend or to offer help in making this a success for all Cameroonians.

Please note that the Ambassador is here to serve all Cameroonians no matter their political affiliations or resident status in the United States of America, he wants everyoneto understand that he is not coming to Georgia for a Political meeting but to visit and meet all Cameroonians.

For details please email the Secretary limbediva@aol.com or President sngalame@yahoo.com
