President Bola Tinubu has called for the enhancement of the economic value of bilateral relations between Nigeria and partner nations.
The President made this statement yesterday while receiving Letters of Credence from the Ambassadors of Portugal, Jorge Adao Martins Dos Santos; the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, Bui Quoc Hung; and the State of Kuwait, Salim Khalifa Mohammed Almuzayen, at the Presidential Villa.
The President expressed his appreciation for Nigeria’s long-standing relations with Portugal, highlighting shared interests in trade, culture, and partnerships in oil and gas that have benefited both countries.
In response, the Ambassador of Portugal noted that investors from his country have a keen interest in Nigeria and that their trade relationship in gas predated the Russia-Ukraine war and will continue.
In his meeting with the Ambassador of Vietnam, President Tinubu said that Nigeria’s manufacturing sector is ready to benefit from the automation skills and technology of the Asian country.
Responding, the Vietnamese Ambassador said, “under your leadership, I see Nigeria overcoming most of her challenges and taking its place among the happiest people in the world.”
Ambassador Hung added that he is in the country to strengthen relations and improve economic ties.
In another meeting, President Tinubu thanked the Ambassador of Kuwait for his country’s long-standing good relations with Nigeria and extended his appreciation to the Emir and the Crown Prince.
