Arising from the meeting, a communique was issued which includes inter alia; a call to the Executive Secretary of LCBC to continue in the advocacy of mobilizing finance resources to support the development actions in a bid to guarantee peace and security in the region.

The communique was signed by representatives of five member countries namely: The Republic of Cameroon, Central African Republic, Republic of Niger, Federal Republic of Nigeria and the Chad Republic. Libya was not represented.
