Key discussions focused on establishing a Nigeria–China Trade and Investment Platform, including a proposed Promotion Centre in China to support Nigerian products, investors, and state governments.
The delegation also outlined investment opportunities within Hainan Province’s Free Trade Port, offering preferential policies for Nigerian businesses.
Speaking on behalf of Newryton, Mr. Pong highlighted plans to access FOCAC-supported financing for strategic investments in agriculture, energy, mining, and solid minerals processing. He emphasised aquaculture as a priority sector and encouraged Nigerian stakeholders to participate in the forthcoming Global Aquaculture Conference in Hainan.
Plans to enhance vocational training and employment under the Belt and Road Initiative were also discussed.
Welcoming the delegation, NCSP’s Head of Internal Operations, Martins Olajide, reaffirmed the organisation’s commitment to mutually beneficial partnerships and highlighted the development of the Nigerian Oil Palm Industrial Park as a flagship project.
Judy Melifonwu, NCSP’s Head of International Relations, noted that China’s zero-tariff policy and the forthcoming NAQS–GACC protocol for Nigerian aquaculture exports would strengthen Nigeria’s competitiveness in global markets.
