Representative of Taiwanese Mission to Nigeria, Andy Yih-Ping Liu, has declared that his country is ready to expand bilateral relations with Nigeria for the realisation of President Bola Tinubu’s economic agenda as promised to the citizenry.

Liu, who spoke with reporters in Lagos, noted that Taiwan is ready to host the Nigerian delegation in Taipei to discuss mutual areas of collaboration that will complement each other’s economic and industrial growth.

According to the envoy, Taiwanese government is also willing to send its delegation to Nigeria on the invitation of the Nigerian government for such economic and trade talks.

He said Taiwan in the last few months had entered into comprehensive trade deals with some other countries, including UK, Canada, and India, involving trade, investment in green energy and digital economy.

Liu hinted that the agreement with UK government last month sets out priority areas of future discussion in three key areas of bilateral investment, digital trade, renewable energy and net zero emissions.

In October this year, he added that his country also completed talks with Canada on bilateral deal to boost foreign investment.

The trade representative stressed that Taiwanese government is prepared to assist President Tinubu to achieve his promise of turning the entrepreneurial capacity of the South East Nigeria into global competitiveness into Taiwan of Africa.

The Nigerian government, he said, would need to pick up the pace by working closely with his mission.

He noted that Taiwan can contribute towards the growth of developing African nations, which is a better way to promote digital literacy, vocational training, agriculture and medical equipment.

He added that democracy in Nigeria and Taiwan are almost the same, as both nations have similar constitutional orientation.

"As the rest of the world is moving quickly to collaborate with Taiwan, the Nigerian government would also need to pick up the pace by working closely with his mission and government to comprehensively discuss economic investment, science and technology research and the digital economy", the envoy said.

Seun should ban some dominant Monikers and mods that destroyed this forum with extreme bigotry and monitor them if they create new s

Thank God Nairaland is back

They've seen that Tinubu is very serious in the implementation of his Vision of making Nigeria great.
Like if you agree, share if not.

Metrobanging:
Nigeria is turning to America soon

You are right, very much in the right direction since Tunubu took over.

Impossible.

China will not allow it.

Naija get mind?

Congratulations Seun and to the whole of Nairaland family

Welcome back nairalandersssssz

They should start producing sony xperia phone

China won't like this....

Such move could anger China as it still sees Taiwan as part of its territory and not an independent nation.

LordGuru1:
They've seen that Tinubu really means business in implementation of his Vision of making Nigeria great.
Like if you agree, share if not.

Unless you want us to stop getting projects and money from the PRC, you won't be clapping for closer relations with Taiwan.

Ok

Masun!

They should come to the east to teach us electrical power generation.

Taiwan don't deal with people that will disappoint you. They owe china like crazy. If they do anyhow, china will take it by force.

The east don't owe china. We will have a pragmatic relations with china, but not for them to tell us who and who to talk to or relate with.

Taiwan, be wise. You have the same ideology and will have long term business security in the east.

Nairaland is yet to recover from its terminal sickness. Abeg tribalists, racists, feminists should pls help us for now....
