International Relations Institute of Cameroon

The International Relations Institute of Cameroon is a research institution in Yaoundé dedicated to training professionals in diplomacy and international affairs. The facility offers multiple educational pathways designed to develop expertise in areas such as diplomatic practice, international law, and strategic global relations.

The institute was established in 1971 through a presidential decree to train diplomats. A major restructuring in 1993 broadened its mission beyond diplomatic training to encompass the full spectrum of international careers.

The institute maintains Observer Status at African Union assemblies and summits, representing perspectives from nations in the southern hemisphere at global diplomatic forums.

It is the oldest diplomatic school south of the Sahara and has trained leaders who now serve in embassies and international organizations across the world. The alumni network includes professionals working at the highest levels of global diplomacy and governance.
