He stated that President Tinubu would have a stopover in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
“President Bola Tinubu will depart Abuja for Beijing, China, on Thursday, August 29, on an official visit. President Tinubu will have a brief layover in the United Arab Emirates,” the statement read.
“In China, the President will meet with President Xi Jinping and will hold meetings with Chinese business leaders on the sidelines of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation.”
Accompanying the President on his trip to China are senior government officials.
Tinubu’s visit comes amidst a series of asset seizures by the Chinese firm Zhongshan Fucheng Industrial Investment Co. Limited.
A French court recently ruled in favor of the firm, granting permission to seize Nigerian presidential jets.
In the ongoing dispute over an arbitration award, the Paris court ruled that the Chinese company could seize three presidential jets undergoing routine maintenance in France as “security” for its claims in a decades-long legal matter with the Ogun State government.
