The Chinese Ambassador to Nigeria, Yu Dunhai, has assured that China will continue to support Nigeria in the fight against terrorism, Daily Nigerian reported.
Mr Dunhai disclosed this in a statement published in a post on his X on Thursday after a meeting with the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu.
He said China “firmly supports” the Nigerian government in its developmental plans that “fit Nigeria’s national realities”.
He also opposed to the interference of any country in the internal affairs of Nigeria “under the pretext of religion and human rights”.
“As a comprehensive strategic partner of Nigeria, China firmly supports the Nigerian government in leading its people to a development path that fits Nigeria’s national realities.
“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 sanction and use of force.
“China is willing to continue supporting Nigeria in combating terrorism and maintaining domestic stability.”
Recall that the Chinese government had earlier warned against interference in Nigerian affairs.
Speaking during a press conference on Tuesday in Beijing, Mao Ning, spokesperson of China’s foreign ministry, rejected the plan by the US government to launch military action in Nigeria.
