French President Emmanuel Macron started a three-leg Africa tour in Cameroon in Tuesday, a trip meant to strengthen political ties with the continent and help boost agricultural production amid growing food insecurity linked to the war in Ukraine.
The mineral-rich central African nation is a major food producer for the region and Macron's delegation will seek investment opportunities in the agricultural sector.
African governments have largely avoided taking sides and refused to join Western condemnation and sanctions over Russia's behaviour.
