Xi and Tinubu said they had elevated ties between their countries to a “comprehensive strategic partnership” on the eve of the three-day summit beginning on Wednesday.

“China and Nigeria, as major developing countries, strengthening strategic coordination, will inject fresh impetus to China-Africa relations in the new era and spearhead common progress among Global South countries,” Xi said.

China’s State Council said that Tinubu expressed his hope that Nigeria would become China’s largest trade and investment partner in Africa.

The Nigerian leader also welcomed Chinese companies to increase investments in the country, expand cooperation in fields such as agriculture, manufacturing and mineral energy, and help poverty reduction efforts, according to the State Council.
