German diplomat visits the Douala Maritime Museum

On Monday, 14 November 2022, Frigate Captain Alex Schindler, Defence Attaché of the German Embassy in Yaounde and representative of the Ambassador, visited the Douala Maritime Museum. He was received by some collaborators of the General Manager of the Cameroon National Shippers' Council (CNSC), Mr. Auguste Mbappe Penda, who was unavoidably absent.

The German diplomat was given a guided tour of the different exhibitions on display by Mr. Patrice Ekwalla, Service Head at the Douala Maritime Museum. On several occasions, Frigate Captain Schindler stopped to admire artifacts and paintings that retrace Germany’s presence in Cameroon and its involvement in trade along the Cameroonian coast.

The tour of the museum ended with a brief working session on a potential partnership between the Douala Maritime Museum on the one hand and the German Embassy in Cameroon along with Germany's maritime museums on the other. A number of other avenues for collaboration were also explored by both parties.
