Recent agreements have further strengthened the cooperation between Nigeria and China

Bilateral trade and diplomatic relations between Nigeria and China reached a new high earlier this year when the two continental giants signed a series of agreements to further enhance economic, cultural, trade, financial and technical ties.

Following talks between the two leaders in Beijing in July, Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan and his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping, attended a signing ceremony for several landmark agreements that marked the latest chapter in a successful and long-established partnership.
