Nigeria has reaffirmed its commitment to strengthening strategic, bilateral trade and economic partnership with China, reflecting positively on the progress recorded in relations between both countries throughout 2025.
The reaffirmation followed the elevation of Nigeria-China relations to a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership, agreed by President Bola Tinubu and President Xi Jinping during his state visit to China in September 2024. Since then, engagements between both countries have intensified across political, economic and technical levels, further consolidating a relationship built on mutual respect, development cooperation and shared interests.
Over the past year, cooperation expanded in key priority areas such as infrastructure development, trade and investment, industrial capacity building, technology exchange and people-to-people relations. These engagements, Nigerian officials say, have helped to deepen institutional linkages and provide a clearer framework for achieving mutually beneficial outcomes.
