Reminder: Media accreditation for 14th Ministerial Conference closes on 26 February

Before submitting the details for accreditation, media representatives are requested to make sure they fulfil the criteria specified on the WTO website. Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) have a  separate accreditation process. Delegations should apply through their designated channels.

Journalists and other media representatives are required to submit a scanned copy of the letter of assignment from their editor on an official letterhead and a digital passport photo. Once the application has been considered, a confirmation letter will be sent by e-mail. A detailed explanation of the accreditation procedure is available here.

Accreditation for attending the Ministerial Conference does not automatically grant entry into Cameroon. Most nationals require a visa to enter Cameroon. Information on visa formalities for journalists will be posted when available.

Further information for the media is available here. Please refer back to this page for updates.
