He promised Nigerians living in China that his administration would deliver good governance and promised to replicate all the good things China has achieved for its people.

The meeting was President Tinubu’s last official engagement in China before departing the country for London, United Kingdom, via Dubai.

He spoke about his efforts to strengthen cooperation in infrastructure, trade, finance, energy, green economy and mining during his bilateral discussions with President Xi Jinping and Premier Li Qiang.
