Nigerian Foreign Minister Yusuf Tuggar spoke at an event during the World Economic Forum in Davos. He said that South Africa’s presidency of the G20 is a great chance for Nigeria to benefit from this group of countries.
Tuggar emphasized the strong friendship between Nigeria and South Africa. He noted that Nigeria helped South Africa in the fight against apartheid.
He mentioned that Thabo Mbeki, who was a key leader against apartheid and later became President of South Africa, lived in Nigeria when he was in exile.
Tuggar’s comments show the deep connection between Nigeria and South Africa. He believes that South Africa can help Nigeria advance its interests, like trade and security.
Both countries want to work more closely together while South Africa is in charge of the G20. They may focus on important issues such as economic changes, digital advancements, and tackling shared challenges in Africa.
This cooperation could strengthen the relationship between Nigeria and South Africa in many areas, including politics, economy, and society.
