Joint Press Statement by EAM, Dr. S. Jaishankar at the conclusion of the 6th India-Nigeria JCM

January 23, 2024

On my part, I'm really very pleased to be here. This is my first visit. And I'm particularly satisfied with the discussions with the Joint Commission. I had the privilege of hosting the Minister briefly last year. We were also very honored that the President of Nigeria, His Excellency President Tinubu, came for the G20 Summit in September.

So, as my colleague noted, we have a long, strong, good history with a very firm foundation of cooperation. And our effort today is at a time when, you know, technology is changing, economics is changing, world politics is changing. How do we build a relationship which is in tune with the needs of the future, which for two democratic countries with an inclusive socioeconomic outlook. How do we, through exchange of experiences and capabilities, support each other. We discussed some issues and the important issues in the world today, some regional issues as well. I was, I think there were insights I gained from the Minister, which were very helpful for me, especially in regard to this region. So, it's really been a very, very satisfying day.

I should add that during this visit, I've had an opportunity to address two business gatherings, to meet the Indian community in Nigeria, who are very happy here, for making a very big contribution here, and to address one of the premier think tanks of Nigeria. So, it's been a very good two days. Thank you.
