Nigeria and Sweden have declared a resolve to deepen bilateral relations through trade, sustainable development, gender equality, and cultural exchange.
To that end, Vice President Kashim Shettima said Nigeria will continue to be a dependable ally of Sweden in all seasons, stressing that both countries are poised for a partnership “anchored in innovation, powered by people, and guided by our shared determination to uplift communities and secure prosperity for generations to come”.
The commitments were the highpoints of a meeting on Monday between Shettima and Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden at State House, Abuja.
Her Royal Highness, Crown Princess Victoria, was on a three-day official visit to Nigeria as part of efforts to enhance diplomatic and economic relations between Sweden and Nigeria.
Shettima described the Crown Princess’s visit to Nigeria as the opening of doors to deeper institutional relations and greater cultural exchange between both nations.
He said the visit was not only a continuation of dialogue but also a new chapter for both nations.
According to him, “This moment opens the door to deeper institutional ties, stimulates business-to-business collaboration, and fosters greater cultural exchange.”
