Memorandum of understanding signed with China

    ABIDJAN
    China and Nigeria on Tuesday signed an agreement to establish a consultation mechanism between their foreign ministries, Xinhua, the official Chinese news agency, reported. Visiting Chinese Foreign Minister Tang Jiaxuan and Nigerian Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Dubem Onyia signed the document. The mechanism is designed to “enhance mutual understanding and promote the current friendly bilateral cooperation,” Xinhua reported. It allows for consultation on bilateral relations as well as regional and international issues of common concern. The 10-member Chinese delegation led by Tang was scheduled to leave Nigeria on Wednesday following its three-day official visit.
