The Nigerian representatives, together with counterparts from other African countries and China will discuss the implementation of follow-up actions of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) summit held last December in Johannesburg.

The summit identified 10 critical areas of cooperation between China and Africa.
