The International Relations Institute of Cameroon (IRIC) is an institution with an international vocation by the nature of its studies, the composition of its teaching staff, and its openness to foreign students. Its primary missions are training and research in the field of international studies, retraining, and further training of officers and executives of foreign ministries. IRIC is an institute of higher education and an observatory for international relations. As of today, the Institute has trained and retrained approximately 2,700 diplomatic personnel of about 40 nationalities, mostly African, and some nationals from the American and Asian continents. For about ten years, in order to adapt to international changes and the demands of globalization and in order to support public authorities in the Emergent process, IRIC has broadened its training offer. In addition to diplomacy, a basic field of study, there are now other fields such as International Banking and Finance, International Disputes, Communications and International Public Action, Regional Integration and Management of Community, Institutions of International Marketing, International Cooperation, Humanitarian Action, Sustainable Development, etc.
