Paul Biya, 91, has not been seen in public for weeks, stoking speculation about his health.
Cameroon's president is in "excellent" health, senior officials have insisted after a long public absence stoked widespread speculation about the 91-year-old leader's condition.
He has since missed events he was scheduled to be at, such as the United Nations General Assembly in New York. The statement came after days of opposition parties and civil society groups calling for information on Biya's health and exact whereabouts."The head of state continues to exercise his duties in Geneva and has never departed the city following his visit to Beijing," Samuel Mvondo Ayolo, director of the civil cabinet said on Wednesday evening.
