Nigeria and South Africa have reaffirmed their commitment to strengthening ties and deepening collaboration between the two nations. This commitment was solidified during the 11th Session of the Nigeria-South Africa Bi-National Commission, which took place in Cape Town, South Africa.
The commission, co-chaired by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and President Cyril Ramaphosa, aims to promote cooperation between the two countries in various areas, including trade, investment, and security. The outcome of the session is expected to further deepen the existing relationship between Nigeria and South Africa, leading to a future of shared prosperity, security, and progress for the people of both nations.
This development is particularly significant, given that 2024 marks 30 years of diplomatic relations between South Africa and Nigeria. The two countries have a long history of cooperation, dating back to the struggles against colonialism and apartheid.
The Bi-National Commission is expected to explore new areas of cooperation, including economic, trade, and investment opportunities. A business roundtable between South Africa and Nigeria is also scheduled to take place, which will provide a platform for businesses from both countries to engage and explore potential partnerships.
Overall, the outcome of the 11th Session of the Nigeria-South Africa Bi-National Commission is a positive step towards strengthening the relationship between the two nations and promoting cooperation in various areas.
On his X handle, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu wrote, "Just moments ago, alongside my co-chair, President Cyril Ramaphosa @CyrilRamaphosa, we witnessed the signing of the communique from the 11th Session of the Nigeria-South Africa Bi-National Commission holding in Tuynhuys, Cape Town.
