Nigeria’s UN Envoy to Keynote Maritime Summit in China

Jimoh Ibrahim, the Permanent Representative of Nigeria to the United Nations, has been invited to speak at the “China Practice Training Series of United Nations Sustainable Development: Workshop on High-Quality Development of Maritime Economy,” scheduled to take place in China from August 4 to 10, 2026. The invitation was communicated through an official diplomatic note from the Permanent Mission of the People’s Republic of China to the United Nations.

The Chinese Mission highlighted Ambassador Ibrahim's extensive diplomatic experience as a key reason for his selection to deliver the keynote address at the event's opening ceremony. His speech will emphasize international cooperation in achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, particularly SDG 14 (Life Below Water).

This participation aligns with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's administration focus on economic diplomacy and international partnerships, aiming to enhance Nigeria's global investment profile and commitment to sustainable development.
