US P resident George Bush telephoned counterpart Paul Biya of Cameroon Wednesday, ahead of a key debate on Iraq at the UN Security Council, White House spokesman Sean McCormack said.

The two leaders discussed "friendship and the importance of the bilateral relationship" between their countries, McCormack said.

He said the 10-minute call also included a discussion of "the importance of both countries working to advance African regional and international security."

The call came two days before a key debate on Iraq at the UN Security Council, where Cameroon holds one of 10 rotating seats.

Cameroon has called for continued UN inspections in Iraq, rather than an immediate move to use military force to disarm Iraq of any banned weapons.

Like other non-permanent council members, Cameroon faces intense US pressure to back its call for military action - Sapa-AFP
