The Nigerian government has reaffirmed its commitment to strengthening bilateral relations with China following the successful conclusion of China’s annual “Two Sessions” meetings.
Hon. Joseph Tegbe, Director General of the Nigeria-China Strategic Partnership, conveyed Nigeria’s congratulations to China, emphasizing the country’s dedication to enhancing cooperation between the two nations.
Tegbe, who closely monitored the sessions, applauded China on the successful conclusion of the 14th National People’s Congress (NPC) and the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC). In an exclusive phone conversation with Diplomatic Digest, he reiterated Nigeria’s unwavering commitment to deepening ties with China.
“Nigeria will continue to support and keep the bilateral relations growing to an enviable level,” Tegbe stated.
The strengthened cooperation between Nigeria and China has resulted in key partnerships across multiple sectors, including energy, infrastructure, and trade. As the head of the Nigeria-China Strategic Partnership, Tegbe has been instrumental in fostering economic collaboration, cultural exchanges, and people-to-people diplomacy aimed at ensuring sustainable growth for both nations.
The reaffirmation of Nigeria’s commitment signals a continued focus on mutual benefits and shared development goals, reinforcing the strategic partnership between Africa’s largest economy and the world’s second-largest economy.
China’s Two Sessions meeting is a pivotal annual event that brings together the country’s top legislative and advisory bodies. The meeting is a convergence of the National People’s Congress (NPC) and the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC).
The Two Sessions meeting provides valuable insights into China’s policy priorities, development goals, and governance strategies. This year’s meeting has already revealed ambitious economic targets, a focus on technological innovation, and a commitment to strengthening national security.
