The Chinese Ambassador to Nigeria, Yu Dunhai, says China will continue to support Nigeria in its fight against terrorism and efforts to maintain national stability.
Dunhai stated this in a post on his official X handle on Thursday following a meeting with the National Security Adviser, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu.
He noted that since President Bola Tinubu’s participation in the Beijing Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation and his state visit to China last year, bilateral cooperation between both countries had produced “fruitful outcomes” that support Nigeria’s socioeconomic development.
He wrote, “As a comprehensive strategic partner of Nigeria, China firmly supports the Nigerian government in leading its people to a development path that fits Nigeria’s national realities,” Dunhai said.
He also reiterated China’s opposition to external interference in the internal affairs of other nations, warning against the use of religion or human rights as a pretext for sanctions or force.
“We oppose any country’s interference in other countries’ internal affairs under the pretext of religion and human rights. We oppose the wanton threat of sanction and use of force,” he added
Dunhai added that China remains committed to strengthening security collaboration with Nigeria to combat terrorism and promote domestic peace.
