China's top political advisor Jia Qinglin on Tuesday arrived in Yaounde for a three-day official visit to Cameroon.
Jia, chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), the country's top advisory body, was making the visit at the invitation of the National Assembly of Cameroon.
In a written statement issued upon his arrival at the airport, Jia said China and Cameroon enjoyed the profound traditional friendship despite the long distance between the two countries.
The China-Cameroon relationship has developed steadily since the two countries forged diplomatic ties in 1971, Jia said, citing fruitful cooperation in various fields and sound communication on international issues.
With the joint efforts, the China-Cameroon relationship will make new progress, Jia said.
Later Tuesday, Jia will hold talks with President of National Assembly of Cameroon Cavaye Djibril and deliver a speech at the National Assembly.
Cameroon is the first leg of Jia's 10-day African tour which will also take him to Namibia and South Africa.
