He appreciated the Director General of the Cameroon Radio Television, Charles Ndongo for his support for the AUB and made a presentation of the operations of the AUB Content Exchange Centre in Algiers, Algeria.
The AUB DG also encouraged CRTV to take optimal advantage of the AUB content exchange platform by sourcing current news about other African countries from it and also contributing latest news about Cameroon to the platform so that other member broadcast organizations can get authentic news.
