Tinubu Arrives In China For State Visit

President Bola Tinubu arrived in Beijing, China, on Sunday for a state visit.

He will also be attending the 9th Forum on China-Africa Cooperation Summit themed “Joining Hands to Advance Modernisation and Build High-Level China-Africa Community with Shared Future.”

Tinubu’s Special Assistant on Social Media, Dada Olusegun, disclosed this in a post on X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday.

His caption read, “President Bola Ahmed Tinubu arrives in Beijing for his official state visit to China.

“He will meet with President Xi Jinping and will hold meetings with Chinese business leaders on the sidelines of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation.”

The President was received by Minister of Works, David Umahi; the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Wale Edun; Kaduna State Governor, Uba Sani; and Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, among other Nigerian and Chinese government officials.

The Chinese leader President Xi Jinping invited Tinubu to pay a state visit to China in September.

According to the Presidency, the visit is expected to enhance economic collaboration and attract investments to Nigeria.

Tinubu’s itinerary is said to include visits to prominent Chinese firms such as Huawei Technologies and the China Railway and Construction Corporation to accelerate the completion of the Ibadan-Abuja segment of the Lagos-Kano rail project.

Tinubu will also meet with CEOs of 10 top Chinese corporations, which manage over $3 trillion in assets across sectors such as ICT, oil and gas, aluminum production, seaport development, finance, and satellite technology.
