LAGOS, Feb. 12 (Xinhua) -- Nigeria on Monday reassured Cameroon that its territory would not be used as a staging area to destabilize Cameroon.
Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari made the pledge in a communique issued at the end of the 6th session of the Cameroon-Nigeria Trans-Border Security Committee held in Abuja, Nigeria's capital.
"Series of political events in the two countries have led to new security challenges threatening the peaceful co-existence along the common borders," he said.
The communique was signed by Brig.Gen. Emmanuel Ndagi, director of defense affairs at the Nigerian Office of the National Security Adviser, and Cameroonian Minister of Territorial Administration and Decentralization Rene Sadi.
The two countries agreed to cooperate in combating money laundering and financing of terrorism.
The two countries agreed to collaborate in sensitizing Nigerians living in Bakassi area to live in peace and to abide by the laws and regulations of their host country.
On border control operations, the committee recommended that the security agencies of the two countries should strengthen the fight against "crimes along the land and maritime borders." Enditem
