As such, the Defense department, and in particular its leader, the defense attaché, is responsible for the promotion and facilitation of bilateral relations in connection with the Cameroonian Minister Delegate to the defense and the State Secretariat in charge of the gendarmerie. The Defense department in Yaoundé is also responsible for the actions of military cooperation financed from the budget of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as part of the Mission of Military Cooperation and Defense.
