Abuja, Malabo sign cooperation agreements

    NAIROBI

    Equatorial Guinea and Nigeria have signed air, fishing and investment agreements designed to strengthen cooperation in an increasingly competitive international environment, ‘The Guardian’ reported on Friday.

    In a statement made available to reporters on Thursday in Abuja, Nigeria’s government said the agreements were concluded at a recent meeting of a bilateral commission in Malabo, the Equato-Guinean capital. The commission also signed a protocol on cultural, educational and scientific cooperation as well as a treaty on the abolition of visas.

    The two countries agreed to implement earlier agreements on cooperation in merchant shipping and defence, and on having Nigeria’s Technical Aid Corps serve in Equatorial Guinea.
