Further implementation of Beijing pledges needed to advance women’s causes, says ex-women’s conference chief

DAR ES SALAAM, Oct. 9 (Xinhua) — In the 21st century, building a better life is impossible without the all-round progress of women’s causes, and it requires women to contribute more wisdom and strength, said Gertrude Mongella, secretary-general of the Fourth World Conference on Women held in the Chinese capital Beijing in 1995.

« What we are waiting for now is the further implementation of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action adopted at that 1995 conference, » Mongella said in an interview with Xinhua.

As the world marks the 30th anniversary of the Fourth World Conference on Women, the Chinese capital is scheduled to host the Global Leaders’ Meeting on Women next Monday to Tuesday, in which Mongella is set to participate.

« I have always stressed that I brought the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action home. I hope to see more ‘Beijing Action’ take root in Tanzania, » Mongella said, noting that after the 1995 conference, she immediately brought the two essential documents back to Africa.

« After attending the Beijing conference, I returned to Tanzania and, at a women’s event, I handed over documents related to the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action to then-President Benjamin Mkapa. I believe that what women want is to see those ideas implemented, » said Mongella.

She recalled that during the Beijing conference, societies were beginning to encourage women to access computers and information technology, and that in Africa, women were often left behind because many lacked basic literacy and numeracy skills.

Literacy and basic education are the key links that unlock subsequent empowerment, she said.

« The Chinese women I know are hardworking and have long participated in industrial development. I often visited activities involving Chinese women in education and industry, especially in the textile sector. Notably, they are also involved in China’s ongoing advances in science and technology, » she said, adding that these observations strengthened her confidence in the power and creativity of Chinese women.

« Women’s development must keep pace with world development. The world is changing rapidly; technology is moving fast; information technologies are advancing. We have even entered the era of artificial intelligence. As the world steps into the new IT age, women must be part of it. If we are absent, we cannot cope. That is why I believe, when we return to Beijing again, we must examine these issues very seriously, » she said.

She urged greater efforts by governments and societies to implement the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action and expressed hope that Chinese women and African women will work together to share information, knowledge, and technology, so that the world can progress together.

With the Juncao technology taught by Chinese experts, many Tanzanian women have gradually found a path out of poverty and toward prosperity, she noted. « By leveraging Juncao technology, Tanzanian women have discovered new hope and confidence in development and taken an important step toward self-reliance and empowerment. »

In 1995, Mongella served as secretary-general of the Fourth World Conference on Women, and continued to work within the UN system on women’s development after the conference. « In my life’s work advancing the cause of women, I have mainly done two things: bring women’s voices to bigger tables, and bring conference consensus back to communities, » she said.

« Now that we convene again, we must identify which indicators are moving forward and where there is backsliding; we must truly implement the spirit of the documents; and we must bring men and boys in as partners, rather than treating gender equality as a ‘solo performance’ by women, » she said.

« Put simply, Beijing gave us the blueprint; today’s summit is about updating the blueprint and supervising the worksite, » she added. ■

un faux agent de la sécurité présidentielle interpellé par la gendarmerie

La gendarmerie nationale a procédé à l’interpellation de deux individus dans le cadre de deux opérations distinctes menées à Ebom et au quartier Carrière, dans la capitale camerounaise. L’un est soupçonné d’usurpation de fonction et d’escroquerie, tandis que l’autre est suspecté d’avoir participé à des braquages.

Deux individus sont entre les mains de la gendarmerie nationale à Yaoundé. Les interpellations, réalisées sous la coordination du colonel Désiré Joseph Nguele, commandant de la Légion de gendarmerie du Centre, ont également permis la saisie de deux armes à feu.

La première opération s’est déroulée à Ebom, dans le ressort de la compagnie de gendarmerie de Yaoundé II. Un homme de 39 ans y a été arrêté pour s’être fait passer, selon les enquêteurs, pour un agent de la Direction de la sécurité présidentielle (DSP). Il aurait utilisé cette fausse identité pour escroquer des personnes en leur promettant des recrutements. Une perquisition à son domicile a permis de découvrir un pistolet automatique, des tenues militaires, de faux laissez-passer de la présidence de la République ainsi que des badges de la DSP.

La seconde interpellation a eu lieu au quartier Carrière, dans le secteur de Yaoundé I. Le suspect a été retrouvé en possession d’un revolver de fabrication allemande contenant six cartouches. D’après les enquêteurs, il aurait reconnu avoir participé par le passé à des braquages dans le département du Moungo, notamment à Mandjou.

Les deux individus ont été placés en garde à vue. Les investigations se poursuivent afin de déterminer l’origine des armes saisies et d’établir d’éventuels liens avec d’autres activités criminelles.

BEIJING, Oct. 30 (Xinhua) — Chinese President Xi Jinping met with President of the Swiss Confederation Guy Parmelin in Beijing on Friday, calling on both countries to inject confidence and more certainty into China-Europe economic and trade cooperation as well as into the global economic development.

Noting Switzerland is an important partner of China in Europe, Xi said Swiss cooperation with China has always been at the forefront among European countries. He added that free trade cooperation has become the brightest highlight of China-Switzerland relations, which fully demonstrates the political courage and responsibility of the two countries in adhering to open cooperation, and highlights the unique leading role of both sides in promoting the building of an open world economy.

China is willing to work with Switzerland to uphold openness, strengthen cooperation, promote a universally beneficial and inclusive economic globalization, and jointly inject confidence and more certainty into the economic and trade cooperation between China and European countries, as well as into the global economic development, Xi said.

Since the establishment of diplomatic ties, China and Switzerland have continuously translated the China-Switzerland cooperation spirit, featuring equality, innovation and win-win results, into pragmatic outcomes, setting a model for interactions between countries of different sizes and with different social systems, Xi pointed out.

He said the two sides should respect each other, treat each other as equals, and comprehensively enhance exchanges and policy alignment at different levels.

Noting that China is accelerating the development of new quality productive forces and steadily expanding institutional opening up, Xi said the country is ready to turn its market into a market for the world and a shared market for all.

Both sides should adhere to mutual benefit and win-win results, strengthen innovation cooperation and focus on fostering cooperation in emerging industries, including digital economy, green energy storage and artificial intelligence, he added.

Xi expressed hope that Switzerland would leverage its unique influence to actively promote balanced and stable development of trade between China and European countries.

As China and Switzerland share similar positions and concepts in supporting multilateralism, Xi said both sides should deepen multilateral coordination and mutual support, firmly uphold the international system with the United Nations at its core and the international order based on international law, reform and improve the global governance system, and advance the building of a community with a shared future for humanity.

Parmelin said that since the establishment of diplomatic relations, Switzerland and China have always respected each other, maintained close high-level exchanges, and achieved fruitful cooperation results in many fields such as trade and investment, scientific research and innovation, and employment.

Noting that this year marks the 10th anniversary of the establishment of Switzerland-China innovative strategic partnership, Parmelin said that the two sides have successfully completed negotiations on signing a protocol on upgrading free trade agreement in a short period of time with high quality, demonstrating a high level of mutual trust between the two sides, which will inject new impetus into bilateral relations.

Switzerland firmly adheres to the one-China policy and looks forward to strengthening dialogue and exchanges with China, upholding mutually beneficial cooperation, and promoting greater development in cooperation in various fields, he said.

The Swiss side attaches great importance to the positive role played by China in international affairs and is willing to closely coordinate with China, adhere to multilateralism, safeguard free trade, and contribute to world development, prosperity, peace and stability, Parmelin added.

After their meeting, the two leaders witnessed the signing of the protocol on upgrading free trade agreement and multiple cooperation documents in areas like scientific research, employment and the media. ■

la Fecafoot ouvre les accréditations médias pour le choc Cameroun-Namibie

Published

Spread the love

La Fédération Camerounaise de Football (Fecafoot) a officiellement lancé la procédure d’accréditation pour les professionnels des médias souhaitant couvrir le prochain match des Lions Indomptables face à la Namibie. Cette rencontre cruciale s’inscrit dans le cadre de la campagne éliminatoire pour la Coupe d’Afrique des Nations (CAN) 2027.

La course vers la CAN 2027 bat son plein et l’effervescence médiatique commence déjà à se faire ressentir. Depuis ce jeudi 5 novembre 2026, les journalistes, photographes et techniciens des médias peuvent officiellement soumettre leur demande d’accréditation auprès de l’instance faîtière du football camerounais.

Les requêtes, qui doivent être individuelles et nominatives, concernent non seulement le match en lui-même, mais également l’ensemble des activités connexes telles que les séances d’entraînement et les conférences de presse d’avant et d’après-match. Pour postuler, chaque professionnel doit fournir une photographie d’identité, mentionner sa fonction exacte et joindre une copie de sa carte professionnelle ou de presse.

Les enjeux de cette rencontre

Au-delà de l’aspect administratif et de l’organisation logistique, ce duel face à la Namibie revêt une importance capitale pour le Cameroun, et ce, à plusieurs niveaux. Pour les Lions Indomptables, ce match représente une occasion en or de consolider leur position dans le groupe et de faire un pas de géant (voire définitif) vers la phase finale de la CAN 2027.

Ces dernières années, la Namibie s’est imposée comme un adversaire particulièrement coriace pour le Cameroun, réussissant à bousculer la hiérarchie continentale. Pour les hommes de la sélection camerounaise, il s’agit de laver l’affront des confrontations passées et de réaffirmer le statut de géant d’Afrique des Lions à domicile.

Pression compétitive

Évoluer devant le public camerounais impose toujours une obligation de résultat et de spectacle. Une victoire face aux Brave Warriors namibiens permettrait de maintenir l’union sacrée entre l’équipe nationale, les supporters et l’opinion publique.

Ce rassemblement est une opportunité idéale pour le staff technique d’ajuster les automatismes de l’équipe, de tester la forme des cadres et d’intégrer de nouveaux profils dans un match à forte pression compétitive.
