Zogo expressed his gratitude to the Chinese government on behalf of Cameroon, saying the project will benefit the people of Cameroon and greatly improve their spiritual life. The project is more evidence of the friendship between Cameroon and China, and Cameroon is willing to continue to strengthen cooperation with China in news media.
