A delegation of some twenty international fashion figures, led by the Cameroonian designer Anna NGANN YONN, paid a courtesy visit to the First Lady Madam Chantal BIYA at the East Wing of Unity Palace on Thursday 31 October 2013. The First Lady, who was assisted at the occasion by Madam Linda YANG, wife of the Prime Minister, heartily received the artists who came from different walks of life.

Speaking to the press at the end of the meeting, Anna NGANN YONN said that they felt honoured to be received by the First Lady. She revealed that the discussions were centred on the ways and means by which fashion can contribute to the development of Cameroon.

It is worthy to note that the international artists are in Cameroon for a fashion parade known as “K-Walk”, to take place in Yaoundé on the 1st of November 2013. The artists visit earlier in the day the Chantal BIYA Foundation where they gave gifts to the inmates.
