President Bola Tinubu and his Chinese counterpart, President Xi Jinping of the People’s Republic of China, are currently leading a meeting of delegation of both countries which is expected to lead to signing some bilateral agreements.
A presidential source who is in China said “President Tinubu now in a meeting with Jinping”.
The ongoing meeting is expected to see to the signing of Memoranda of Understanding (MoU) in various areas including deepening cooperation, in green economy, in agriculture, in satellite technology development, blue economic development, among others.
Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, had last week informed journalists at the State House, Abuja, that one of the reasons for the official visit would be the interaction between both leaders on behalf of their countries.
“Mr. President will also meet with his Chinese counterpart in the person of President Xi Jinping, where several MOUs will be signed. The MOUs will involve agreements in deepening cooperation, in green economy, in agriculture, in satellite technology development, in media enterprise development and promotion, as well as blue economic development and national planning cooperation.
“This is going to be part of a broader engagement where the two heads of state will discuss matters of mutual interest across, not just the economy, but also on issues of national, regional and international security”, Ngelale had said.
