During his visit, President Biya will discuss various ways to strengthen the ties between the two countries with President Xi Jinping. They might sign some agreements to boost their collaboration. This will be President Biya's eighth trip to China, which is an important partner for Cameroon's goal to become an emerging economy by 2035.
