 NIGERIA SEEKS STRATEGIC AFRICA-EUROPE PARTNERSHIP IN PORTUGAL


The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu, has called for a more strategic, equitable and resilient partnership between Africa and Europe.

Bianca Ojukwu stressed that Africa should no longer be viewed only through the prism of humanitarian crises or resource extraction, but as a strategic partner with human capital, natural resources and innovation potential.

It notes that Nigeria’s foreign policy under President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda is anchored on economic diplomacy and mutually beneficial partnerships.
