India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi meets Nigeria’s President Bola Tinubu on Sunday as the giants of Asia and Africa push for a greater role in world affairs.
Nigeria’s capital Abuja was the first stop in a tour that will take the Indian premier on to the G20 summit in Brazil, and to Guyana.
The visit was billed by New Delhi as a meeting of the largest democracy in the world and the largest in Africa, or “natural partners”.
“May this visit deepen the bilateral relationship between our nations,” Modi posted on social media on arrival.
Tinubu posted that the visit would expand “the strategic partnership between both countries”.
Modi will speak with Tinubu at his official residence in Abuja on Sunday.
