David Mark Seeks China's Support For Security Council Seat by idiopathic: 8:57pm On Sep 30, 2009 |
The President of the Nigerian Senate, David Mark, has requested the support of the People’s Republic of China on Nigeria’s bid for United Nation (UN) Security Council seat. The Senate President made this request in Abuja, on Tuesday, when he attended China’s 60th National Day Celebration. “Besides Nigeria’s foreign policy which prescribes providing leadership and service to the world, our country is eminently endowed with qualified personnel to man the Security Council seat,” Mr. Mark said. Specifically, Mr. Mark reminded the Chinese delegates that they and Nigeria share a lot of economic and cultural ties, which should be harnessed for the good of both countries. According to Mr. Mark, “Nigeria has enjoyed good trade relationship with China. Nigeria is a major investment zone for China while China remains a major trading centre for our people.” He called for more cooperation in the area of science and technology that would further facilitate development in both countries. He noted that Nigeria is a major investment destination for foreign investors and a good trading partner to all nations and therefore deserves the seat at the UN Security Council. 60 years of nationhood The senate president praised the country for attaining 60 years of nationhood and urged them to sustain the indomitable spirit of self determination, hard work and courage in the years ahead. Before then, the Chinese Ambassador to Nigeria, Xu Jianguo, had exalted China as a hard working and disciplined nation. According to Mr. Jianguo, the people of China achieved nationhood through devotion to duty and patriotism. Mr. Jianguo said China will uphold a foreign policy of peace, development and cooperation that would further strengthen friendly collaboration with all nations. He also said China will henceforth contribute more to the great course of peace and development of mankind globally. Mr. Jianguo said he was impressed that Sino-Nigeria relations enjoyed sound and steady development. China will, on the 1st of October, celebrate the 60th anniversary of the ruling Communist Party and the People’s Republic of China. |
