Arrangements have been concluded for President Muhammadu Buhari’s official visit to the Peoples’ Republic of China in April, the Chinese Ambassador to Nigeria, Gu Xiaojie, has said.
Xiaojie stated this when he visited the Minister of Science and Technology, Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu, in Abuja, according to a statement in Abuja on Wednesday by the Chief Press Secretary to the minister, Mr. Taiye Akinyemi.
The envoy said the visit was significant because it would strengthen diplomatic relations between China and Nigeria.
He put the volume of trade between Nigeria and China in 2015 at $14.9bn, describing Nigeria as China’s biggest trading partner in Africa.
He said, “The relationship right now is a strategic partnership that will definitely help to expand mutual benefits between the two countries to look at widening areas and scope of cooperation.
“We are also set to look for new areas of cooperation between China and Nigeria against the background that this year, China and Nigeria are celebrating 45 years anniversary of diplomatic relations between the two countries.” Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
