According to them, the meeting centred on paving way for both countries to deepen diplomatic relations in various sectors of the economy, particularly on trade.
Tuggar said, “Already, our private sectors are leading the way in such collaboration and we are working to boost enabling environment for further engagement.
“Beyond that, Nigeria and Estonia share similar positions on global issues and we look forward, to establishing diplomatic missions to further deepen our diplomatic relations.”
For her part, Lind said her country would, among other things, focus on digital governance, expand trade and investment across multiple sectors of the economy to advance the bilateral cooperation with Nigeria.
“We recognise Nigeria’s vibrant startup ecosystem and potential for deepening collaboration.
