00:00Avec tout le monde du monde, avec tout l'uncertainty dans le monde,
00:08le seul partenaire de développement aujourd'hui qui apprends la technologie et apprends les fonds pour vous,
00:15à la même chose, est China.
00:20Je suis Joseph Thibui, le directeur général, global liaison for Nigeria-China, strategic partnership.
00:27I was appointed by Mr. President to this position October 2024.
00:33It was clear to me that Mr. President sees the relationship between China and Nigeria of high importance and extremely strategic.
00:45Today, there's a drift from the West to the East.
00:51Either you like it or not, that's the reality of today.
00:53Modernisation now is seen not to be tagged with westernisation.
01:00Modernisation is even seen from the East.
01:03So I think the president, for example, Amir Tinovoo, was being visionary.
01:10He said, look, we need to look East.
01:14Not only look East, in a strategic developmental perspective.
01:17And what was the whole essence?
01:21The whole essence was to say, look, you can't treat every relationship,
01:26every diplomatic relationship, every bilateral relationship, the same way you treat everyone.
01:33We have one purpose, different strategies to address what we're doing.
01:40But we're focused on the fact that our relationship with China moved from being trade partners to developmental partners.
01:49When you look at FUCAC 2024, Belt and Road Initiative and the rest of them,
02:00what is done significantly for us is creating a platform for us to modernise.
02:08China needs us as much as we need them also.
02:14When you look at the combined population of China and Africa today,
02:22it's about 35% of the entire world.
02:25So what that creates is creates a huge momentum for the China-African partnership
02:30to develop the rest of Africa.
02:33And today, even China is our number one trading partner.
02:402023, we had a cumulative trade volume of $23 billion US dollars.
02:47What am I expecting?
02:48I expected more developmental partnership with China.
02:52We're doing well in infrastructure.
02:53We're not going to stop.
02:54A lot of road construction.
02:56What we're doing in the rail, it's being championed by Chinese farms.
03:01No country develops without adequate infrastructure.
03:05We're doing well in infrastructure.
03:07We're not going to stop.
03:09We're going to do well in human capital, which is education and healthcare.
03:14But beyond those areas, there are three critical areas that I think are important.
03:18And I mentioned it earlier.
03:20One is agrig.
03:21I still keep asking Chinese when I go there,
03:24Tell me the secret behind your capability to feed 1.4 billion people.
03:31Okay?
03:32If you tell me the secret behind it,
03:35we can feed 230 million people conveniently.
03:38And the secret is scale.
03:40The second one for me is manufacturing.
03:44Manufacturing because we need to industrialize Nigeria back.
03:46The last one I said is technology.
03:50And whether Nigeria likes it or not,
03:52we would leapfrog in technology and AI.
03:55So I believe that's another thought sphere that we need to focus on.
04:00And we must get that benefit in our partnership and relationship
04:03with China particularly in the next coming years.
04:07We have the laws that allows companies that come to an innovative era
04:15to have five years, you know,
04:18county status without paying taxes.
04:21We have opportunities for those who can invest in free trade zone.
04:27And if they do produce for export purposes,
04:30they are not supposed to tax.
04:32So all those things are things that we're putting on the table
04:35for the Chinese investors.
04:37And we as Nigeria also,
04:39we're going to explore it also in China.
04:42So it's a two-way thing.
04:44For me, what will make me feel fulfilled in 10 years' time
04:47is to make sure that all the things I set out to achieve
04:51in this Nigeria-China-Sergia partnership
04:53either have been achieved or are on the path to being achieved.
05:02they're kind of like what you do for people who begin to achieve.
05:05They believe they have been achieved.
05:07And I know they're in this scenario
05:08that hooks youéis at large and down the path to being achieved.
05:10And you can attest to theigram areas
05:12that's only part of the country you can achieve.
05:14So as picture-to-shirts are Briefing.
05:16So astro- Ferrara gets to just your own networking
05:17to the pan and to the customer.
05:19So you're going to decide to show your own suggestion
05:20to your back at the time.

05:24that you're doing for something that you're doing for important
