Openness reflects Party's confidence

Abdulwaheed Odusile, head of Nigeria's journalists association, said two television teams and two newspaper teams from the African country are in Beijing to cover the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China.

"China and Nigeria are getting increasingly close, and China has helped a lot with construction work in our country, so of course we should come to cover such an important event," he said.

Odusile said the Western media report many stories about China, but journalists in his country want to write their own stories by experiencing the congress themselves.
