Vice President Kashim Shettima yesterday received the Prime Minister of the Republic of Congo, Anatole Collinet Makosso, on a courtesy visit to the Presidential Villa in Abuja. The meeting was a significant moment in the strengthening of diplomatic ties between Nigeria and the Republic of Congo.
According to a statement, Shettima reaffirmed Nigeria's commitment to strengthening diplomatic ties with the Republic of Congo. He also acknowledged President Denis Sassou-Nguesso's leadership in promoting regional peace and stability, particularly in Africa's Great Lakes region. The Vice President's recognition of President Sassou-Nguesso's efforts highlights Nigeria's appreciation for the Congolese leader's contributions to regional peace and stability.
Shettima further noted that Nigeria will consider Congo's request for support in its bid to lead the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). This development is a significant step in the strengthening of relations between the two countries, and demonstrates Nigeria's commitment to supporting African countries in their international endeavors.
The meeting highlights Nigeria's commitment to regional cooperation and diplomacy. As Vice President, Shettima plays a significant role in shaping Nigeria's foreign policy and fostering international relationships. His meeting with the Prime Minister of Congo is a testament to Nigeria's dedication to building strong relationships with other African countries.
The visit by the Congolese Prime Minister is also an opportunity for Nigeria to explore areas of cooperation in fields such as trade, education, and security. The two countries can leverage their shared experiences and expertise to drive development and growth in the region.
Nigeria's support for Congo's UNESCO bid is a significant development that can boost Africa's global influence. The continent has been underrepresented in international organizations, and Nigeria's support for Congo's bid is a step in the right direction.
The UNESCO bid is also an opportunity for Congo to showcase its rich cultural heritage and promote African culture globally. With Nigeria's support, Congo can leverage its bid to promote African unity and cooperation.
