Description

On August 31, 2002, the Chinese Government and the Government of Cameroon signed five cooperation agreements, one of which was a debt rescheduling agreement. Under this agreement, a loan worth nearly FCFA 4,000 million francs (~$6 million USD) that was contracted in 1991 and due for repayment by September 2001 (an original maturity period of 10 years) was rescheduled. Its maturity was extended by 5 additional years.
