Seeking to tap skills in the areas of shippers' assistance and foreign trade facilitation from the Cameroon National Shippers’ Council’s (CNSC) experience, the General Manager of the Chadian Shippers’ Council (COCTCHAD), Mr. Hamid Djoumino, was once again granted audience by CNSC’s General Manager, Mr. Auguste Mbappe Penda.

The meeting took place today, 10 June 2024, in the presence of senior officials from the CNSC, COCTCHAD and the Chadian Ministry of Transport. The assistance requested includes the training of 3 Chadian experts who will spend a few days in Cameroon, and the participation of the CNSC at the very 1^st edition of the Chadian Shippers' Days scheduled for 11-13 July in Ndjamena.

Mr. Auguste Mbappe Penda, readily agreed and reassured his Chadian counterpart of CNSC's unfailing availability. To this end, Mrs. Claire Onana Takouchop and Mr. Fernand Nolga, respectively Director of Shippers‘ Assistance and Director of Trade Facilitation and Transport Observatory, were placed at the disposal of the Chadian delegation to kick-start the experience sharing, ahead of CNSC's participation at the Chadian Shippers’ Days.

This visit to the CNSC by COCTCHAD's General Manager comes 3 months after that of March 2024, during which focus was placed on the transfer of competence in the management of the Electronic Cargo Tracking Note (ECTN).
