President Bola Tinubu and Chinese President Xi Jinping divulged ideas on Tuesday in Beijing, China, about how to develop bilateral ties for the benefit of Nigerians.
For this purpose, both presidents decided to establish a high-level Nigeria-China community partnership with a common future.
This was part of the repercussions of discussions between the two leaders during President Tinubu’s official visit to Xi Jinping’s China.
President Tinubu’s formal visit comes ahead of his participation in the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation’s 2024 Summit, which is slated to take place from September 4-6, 2024.
President Tinubu said:
”This is an important visit for Nigeria and the rest of Africa, as I arrive in my capacity as the Chairman of ECOWAS. I thank you for the high-level of honour accorded to us.
”Relations between China and Nigeria have indeed lasted for over half a century and should be further strengthened to advance our trade and economic development programmes.
”Nigeria holds great potential as the country with the largest population in Africa and is the biggest economy with a very young population that can drive economic growth and cross-sectoral programmes.
”We have upgraded the relationship to more than what is just strategic — but a comprehensive developmental partnership.
”This comprehensive strategic partnership should result in robust development, stability, and security in the West African sub-region. This is very crucial.”
