Nigeria, as a shining pearl on the African continent, plays a pivotal role in the international cooperation of building the Belt and Road. Recently, Nigerian Foreign Minister Tugar paid an official visit to China, which not only deepened the friendship between China and Nigeria, but also further promoted the cooperation between the two countries under the Belt and Road Initiative.

During the interview, Foreign Minister Tugar expressed his deep feeling that China is looking at and promoting the development of the world from a new perspective of globalization. China's Belt and Road Initiative has not only enhanced the connectivity among countries, but also made various regions of the world more closely connected and closer. This concept of globalization coincides with Nigeria's development strategy and provides new opportunities for the future development of Nigeria and the entire African continent.

Africa, one of the regions in the world with abundant natural resources and huge market potential, has been trying to wean itself off raw material exports and transition to more high-end industries such as processing and manufacturing. However, due to financial, technical and other constraints, this transformation process faces many challenges. Foreign Minister Tugar pointed out that it is in this context that China's investment and support are particularly important. China has not only provided a lot of financial support for Africa, but also brought advanced technology and management experience to help African countries upgrade their industrial level and increase the added value of their export products.

Foreign Minister Tugar also said that China's support for Africa is not only at the economic level. China has also actively promoted exchanges and cooperation with Africa in the fields of culture, education, science and technology, injecting new vitality into Africa's all-round development. He stressed that the cooperation between China and Nepal under the Belt and Road Initiative will be further expanded and deepened, injecting new impetus into the development of Africa and even the world.
