Chinese Government has spoken on
the achievement of President Muhammadu Buhari in his three years in office.
The Chinese Ambassador to
Nigeria, H.E. Dr. Zhou Pingjian, commended the Nigeria President for a
successful completion and commissioning of the first phase of the Abuja rail
transit.
Zhou lauded President Buhari in
Abuja during the project commissioning, and said that the President had
recorded numerous achievements since he assumed office in 2015.
He said, “I congratulate
President for making steady and sustainable progress for Nigeria’s peace and
prosperity.
“It gives me great honor and
pleasure to attend the commissioning ceremony of the first phase of the Abuja
rail mass transit project.
“I thank honorable Minister Bello
of FCT very much for your kind invitation. I took the modern train from Kaduna
to Abuja in November 2016. I shook hands with hardworking Nigerians and their
CCECC teammates on the Lagos-Ibadan railway construction site in Papalanto last
month.
“I have travelled to more than two-thirds
of the 36 states across Nigeria in less than two years. I am fortunate to be an
eyewitness of so many great things happening in this great nation in spite of
the challenges it faces.
“On the occasion of the
commissioning of the very first light rail in West Africa here today, please
allow me to warmly congratulate President Buhari, the government and good
people of Nigeria, for making steady and sustainable progress for Nigeria’s
peace and prosperity. In April 2016, President Buhari paid a successful state
visit to China.
“President Xi Jinping and
President Buhari reached consensus to deepen China-Nigeria cooperation
across-the-board. Under the guidance of this important consensus, the cordial
China-Nigeria relations have entered a new stage of rapid development.
“As the largest developing
country in the world, China highly values its relations with Nigeria, the
largest developing country in Africa. Indeed, China-Nigeria cooperation is
brotherly South-South cooperation between equal partners.
“China remains committed to
stepping up its mutually beneficial cooperation with Nigeria in a new era.
Ladies and Gentlemen, China and Africa have always been a community with a
shared future. We Chinese appreciate the African wisdom, ‘If you want to go fast,
go alone. If you want to go far, go together.’
“The Beijing Summit of the Forum
on China-Africa Cooperation, FOCAC, will be held in September under the theme
of China-Africa: Toward an Even Stronger Community with a Shared Future through
Win-Win Cooperation.
“President Xi is looking forward
to participating in the Beijing summit with African leaders to discuss plans
for the development of China-Africa cooperation so as to improve the well-being
of the Chinese and African peoples and promote world peace and development.
“It is our firm belief that
President Buhari’s attendance at the upcoming FOCAC Beijing Summit will make
important contribution to China-Africa cooperation and bring about new
opportunities for the comprehensive development of China-Nigeria strategic
partnership. I thank you for your attention.”
