Abuja, Nigeria, October 14 (Infosplusgabon) - Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari has expressed delight at the mutually beneficial bilateral cooperation that exists between Nigeria and China.

 

In a letter to Chinese President Xi Jinping on the occasion of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC), President Buhari lauded China for "becoming an indispensable force in the comity of nations".

 

The Chinese President is also the General Secretary of the Central Committee of the CPC. The Congress begins on 18 October.

 

The letter from President Buhari, released on Saturday by the Presidential Spokesman, Mr Femi Adesina, states:

 

"On behalf of the Government and people of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, I have the pleasure to send our warmest congratulations to you and through you to all the 2,287 delegates and the 89 million party members on the auspicious occasion of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC)."

 

President Buhari said it was his firm belief that the Congress would be a new starting point in the history of China, and would usher in a new period of great accomplishment for the Party and the nation.

 

He said the leadership of CPC was understood to be the defining feature of socialism with Chinese characteristics.

 

"China has made remarkable progress under the leadership of CPC and remains an inspiration to developing countries and the whole world," President Buhari said, adding that in the past 30 years and more, over 700 million Chinese had been lifted out of poverty, creating a Chinese miracle in the history of poverty reduction.
