The President of the Republic has left the country en rout to Copenhagen for the world climate change summit in the Danish capital.

The President left Yaounde this Tuesday, 15th December 2009 in the company of Madam Chantal Biya for the French Capital, Paris, where he is expected to concert with his peers, members of the Congo Basin Commission before travelling to Denmark.

Discussions in France are expected to be held under the auspices of the French President, Nicolas Sarkozy who is one of the main sponsors of “climate justice”.

Leaders of countries of the Congo Basin which represents the second largest mass of tropical forest in the world, with 220 million hectares are working to adopt a common stance at Copenhagen

African countries at the present summit want to make their voices heard in major international negotiations.

The countries now realize that to exert pressure on the International Community, they must act as a bloc in Copenhagen.
