Reports from news agencies in Jakarta, capital of Indonesia, last week quoted the Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs, Rizal Ramli as saying that his country decided during a meeting on Monday, December 21, 2015 to grant visa free travel as from last week for short-term visitors from the 84 more countries.

This, he explained, was in a bid to boost the number of tourists visiting the country since Indonesia hopes to attract 20 million foreign tourists in 2019. According to the Indonesian State Official, the decision followed the strong growth of 19 per cent recorded in the number of foreign visitors after the granting of visa free travel to 47 countries in October 2015. At the Ministry of External Relations in Yaounde, officials welcome the announcement with satisfaction, saying it is an opportunity for especially businessmen to explore avenues for trade and joint-ventures within the framework already posed by President Paul Biya.

While receiving New Year Wishes from the diplomatic corps accredited to Yaounde in January 2008, Paul Biya had invited government to learn from the Asian model amongst which he cited Indonesia in third position out of five countries. To the Director of the Department of Asian Affairs and Relations with the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation, Mohamadou Moustafa, the measure could enable Cameroon to benefit from Indonesian success stories and experience especially in the domains of agriculture, trade, industry and tourism, amongst others.
