Dear Ms Fong,

Thanks for your email and the opportunity to clarify my request.

The timeline would be from 01/01/2000 until today.

I am looking for agreements between Cameroon and the US (or any entities of these 2 countries).

In terms of the content of those agreements, I don't expect there will be many so I think you can use the widest possible definition whereby the US and Cameroon are collaborating on defence matters through, for example but not limited to, training, joint actions, funding, arm sales/gifts, intelligence sharing, etc.

Best regards,
Emmanuel
