Yu Dunhai, the Chinese Ambassador to Nigeria, has stated that China will continue to assist Nigeria in its fight against terrorism and in safeguarding national stability.
Dunhai said this in a post on his official X account on Thursday, following a meeting with Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, the National Security Adviser.
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.

“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.
