President Muhammadu Buhari will on Wednesday attend the fourth Africa-Arab Summit in Malabo, Equatorial Guinea.
The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr Femi Adesina, disclosed this in a statement on Monday.
The presidential spokesman said summit would be attended by Heads of State and Government from Gulf and African countries.
According him, the summit is expected to endorse the Malabo Declaration and Action Working Plan for 2017-2019 to promote trade and economic ties.
He said the two-year plan sought to implement priority projects in trade, investment, transportation, communication and energy in Africa.
He said Buhari was also expected to hold discussions with Arab leaders aimed at reviewing agreements to strengthen partnerships that bolster agriculture and infrastructure development in Nigeria through long term concessionary loans and technological skills transfer.
He said the president would also explore the opportunity of the summit to seek support for the ongoing fight against Boko Haram and the humanitarian situation in the Northeast.
“Jointly organised by the African Union Commission and the League of Arab States, the summit focuses on promoting development by strengthening trade, investments, transport, communication and energy among Gulf and African states,” Adesina stated
