The Chinese Ambassador to Nigeria, Yu Dunhai, has reaffirmed China’s commitment to supporting Nigeria’s fight against terrorism and its efforts to safeguard national stability.

In a post on his official X handle on Thursday, following a meeting with the National Security Adviser, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, Dunhai highlighted the deepening partnership between both nations.

He noted that since President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s state visit to China and participation in the Beijing Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation last year, bilateral relations have yielded “fruitful outcomes” contributing to Nigeria’s socioeconomic growth.

“As a comprehensive strategic partner of Nigeria, China firmly supports the Nigerian government in leading its people on a development path that aligns with Nigeria’s national realities,” the envoy stated.

Dunhai also reiterated China’s firm opposition to external interference in the domestic affairs of other countries, stressing that issues such as religion and human rights should not be used as pretexts for sanctions or the use of 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 sanctions and use of force,” he said.
