Vice President Kashim Shettima has met with a delegation from Thailand led by its Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Affairs Minister, Yousef Hassan Khalawi, at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
Nigeria and Thailand agreed to deepen cooperation in technology, agriculture, commerce and renewable energy, among other strategic areas.
Shettima said Nigeria wants to review existing partnerships with Thailand and leverage its expertise in intermediate agricultural technology to strengthen Nigeria’s agricultural sector.
Thailand also proposed a Thailand-Africa Initiative aimed at expanding people-to-people and economic ties with key African countries, particularly in agriculture.
Shettima said Nigeria’s relationship with Thailand should go beyond crude oil and rice production, stressing the need for a broader strategic partnership that delivers greater economic benefits to both countries.
