China has restated its commitment to supporting Nigeria’s efforts to combat terrorism. Chinese Ambassador to Nigeria, Yu Dunhai, gave the assurance on Wednesday during a meeting with Nigeria’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Yusuf Maitama Tuggar.
Both countries reaffirmed plans to deepen cooperation in trade, investment, manufacturing, and broader strategic relations. Ambassador Yu said the China-Nigeria strategic partnership is progressing rapidly through strengthened collaboration and mutual support on key national interests.
He also announced China’s readiness to implement zero-tariff treatment for Nigerian exports and to begin preparations for the 55th anniversary of diplomatic ties, alongside activities for the 2026 China-Africa Year of Cultural Exchanges.
According to him, these initiatives will enhance strategic trust, expand economic cooperation, and deliver greater benefits to citizens of both nations.
