On December 5, 2025, Chinese Ambassador to Nigeria Yu Dunhai met with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu at Aso Villa in Abuja.
The meeting portrayed the growing strength of the China‑Nigeria Comprehensive Strategic Partnership, with both representatives of their various countries praising its progress and promising to expand cooperation across multiple sectors for the benefit of their citizens.
Ambassador Yu described the relationship as entering a “fast track,” noting that the two nations have consistently supported each other on matters of core interest.
He reaffirmed China’s backing of Nigeria’s fight against terrorism and pledged closer collaboration to accelerate the zero‑tariff policy for Nigerian exports.
The ambassador highlighted China’s readiness to align development strategies with Nigeria, consolidate strategic trust, and elevate bilateral ties to new heights.
President Tinubu on his part welcomed the commitment, stressing that Nigeria values China’s role as a reliable partner in infrastructure, trade, and security.
The dialogue reflected a broader ambition: to transform mutual understanding into tangible projects that strengthen economies and improve lives.
China and Nigeria have long stood shoulder to shoulder in international forums, often defending each other’s positions on sensitive issues. Even when US President Donald Trump recently threatened military action against Nigeria, China stood to reaffirm its support for the inviolability of Nigeria’s sovereignty.
This latest engagement signals not just continuity but acceleration — a determination to turn goodwill into measurable progress.
