Macron was welcomed at the airport in Yaounde at around 10:40 pm by Cameroonian Prime Minister Joseph Dion Ngute. Macron had provoked Biya's indignation in 2020 after declaring he would apply "maximum pressure" on the president over "intolerable" violence in the West African country. After lunch with Biya and his wife Chantal, Macron will meet representatives of youth and civil society.
