President Bola Tinubu has called for the enhancement of the economic value of bilateral relations between Nigeria and partner nations.
The President spoke when he received Letters of Credence from the Ambassadors of Portugal, Jorge Adao Martins Dos Santos; the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, Biu 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 and the shared interest in the areas of trade and culture, as well as partnership in oil and gas, which has translated into gains for both countries.
In his response, the Ambassador of Portugal said investors from his country have a keen interest in Nigeria, and that the trade with Nigeria on gas predated the war between Russia and Ukraine, and will be sustained.
In his meeting with the Ambassador of Vietnam, President Tinubu said the manufacturing sector in Nigeria is ready to benefit from the automating skills and technology of the Asian country.
Responding, the Vietnamese Ambassador said: “Under President Tinubu’s leadership, he sees Nigeria overcoming most of her challenges and taking its place among the happiest people in the world.’’
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.
The Ambassador of Kuwait assured the President that he would do his best to strengthen bilateral ties for the mutual benefit of both countries.
