The country is characterized by political stability and a favorable investment climate, which is especially important for foreign partners, Rusal said.

During a recent visit to the West African country, a Rus Al delegation assessed the country's raw material and energy potential, its energy and transport infrastructure, and entered into a dialog with the Cameroon authorities responsible for developing the natural resources sector and attracting foreign investments in the country.
