The Chinese Ambassador to Nigeria, Yu Dunhai, has reaffirmed China’s commitment to deepening bilateral cooperation with Nigeria, particularly in the solid minerals sector, by establishing electric vehicle factories and increasing industrial collaboration.
Ambassador Dunhai emphasised the strategic importance of Nigeria in China’s foreign policy, adding that Nigeria is a great country blessed with tremendous natural resources. Chinese companies are already deeply involved in Nigeria’s mining sector, from exploration to processing.
He noted that both presidents agreed to elevate bilateral ties to a comprehensive strategic partnership, unlocking new avenues for cooperation.
He stated that the embassy consistently advises Chinese firms operating in Nigeria to respect local laws, fulfil corporate social responsibility and uphold environmental and safety standards.
