Nation suggested programs to support sectors to ease tensions
Equatorial Guinea’s Minister of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation, Agapito Mba Mokuy, met with ambassadors and representatives of international organizations based in the country to discuss economic assistance and other mechanisms to encourage a peaceful resolution of the crisis in the Central African Republic and help ease the suffering in the country.
Minister Mba Mokuy confirmed at the meeting that Equatorial Guinea would continue its military deployment in the country as part of the international humanitarian and peacekeeping effort. The meeting dealt with ideas for programs to support education, health, youth-focused activities, and sports, as well as means to assist in professionalizing the military of the Central African Republic and ensure that the members of the armed forces are properly compensated.
