今年1月，布哈里总统在会见尼日利亚经济峰会集团董事会成员时公开表示，“衷心感谢中国人民对尼日利亚的鼎力支持。自独立以来，没有任何一个国家能够像中国这样帮助尼日利亚推进基础设施建设。中方就一些项目提供优惠贷款，期限长达20年。除了中国，没有哪个国家如此支持过尼日利亚。”
中国是世界上最大的发展中国家，尼日利亚是非洲最大的发展中国家，中方为中尼伙伴关系愈加强劲感到骄傲。中尼合作平等互利，是兄弟般的南南合作。中方致力于加强同尼方在农业、加工制造业、产能投资、基础设施、能源等各领域合作。
When President Buhari received the board of directors of the Nigerian Economic Summit Group in January this year, he said, "We send our gratitude to the Chinese for all their support to Nigeria. Since independence, no country has helped our country on infrastructural development like the Chinese. In some projects, the Chinese help us with 85 percent payment, and soft loans that span 20 years. No country has done that for us."
As the largest developing country in the world, China takes deep pride in its ever stronger partnership with Nigeria, the largest developing country in Africa. It is our firm belief that the China-Nigeria cooperation is brotherly South-South cooperation between two equal partners and is indeed mutually beneficial. China remains committed to stepping up its cooperation with Nigeria in agriculture, manufacturing, industrial capacity and investment, infrastructure, energy, and other areas.
当前，中尼关系发展面临新机遇。
五年前，习近平主席提出“一带一路”倡议。“一带一路”源于中国，属于世界，对各国开放。本着共商共建共享精神，“一带一路”注重伙伴国家间的发展战略对接和优势互补，以促进各国的高质量、可持续发展。过去五年，“一带一路”从愿景变成现实，取得丰硕合作成果。非洲是“一带一路”的历史和自然延伸，是重要参与方。中非共建“一带一路”将为非洲发展提供更多资源和手段，拓展市场和空间，提供广阔发展前景。
We now face new opportunities to grow our bilateral relations.
Five years ago, President Xi Jinping proposed the initiative of building the Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st-Century Maritime Silk Road. The Belt and Road Initiative emphasizes on integrating the development strategies and complementary advantages of the partnering countries with a view to promoting high-quality and sustainable development for all in a spirit of extensive consultation, joint contribution and shared benefits. The past five years have witnessed that the Belt and Road Initiative has transformed itself from a vision to practical actions with fruitful cooperation results.
The Belt and Road Initiative is open to all countries. Though originating from China, it belongs to the whole world. Africa, being part of the historical and natural extension of the Belt and Road, has been an important participant in this initiative. The cooperation between China and Africa under the Belt and Road Initiative will generate more resources and means, expand the market and space for African development, and broaden its development prospects.
