China and Nigeria are to establish a media partnership in the area of broadcasting, visiting Chinese Deputy Director of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television (SARFT) Hu Zhanfan said in Abuja Monday.

During his visit to the Nigerian Federal Ministry of Information and National Orientation, Hu, speaking through an interpreter, told reporters that the partnership would enhance relations between the two countries in radio and television broadcasting.

He also said that the accord would enlighten both countries on their various cultures and traditions through TV and radio programs.

He expressed the willingness of the Chinese government to cooperate with Nigeria in various other areas.

Nigeria's Permanent Secretary Raphael Adeoye said that the partnership, though overdue, was a welcome development.

He said that Nigeria, the most populous African country with a 130 million population, could benefit immensely from the Chinese agricultural sector and solar technology.

"China today is a force to reckon with following its economic and technological growth," he said. Adeoye observed that the partnership would also strengthen the existing bilateral agreements between the two countries.
