President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, has extended his warm felicitations to Nigeria\u2019s President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, on his election victory.<\/p>\n
The Ukrainian leader, in a congratulatory letter he personally signed, expressed his gladness at the peaceful conduct of Nigeria\u2019s just-concluded general elections and particularly praised the victory of Asiwaju Tinubu as the next President of Nigeria, adding that his country is determined to further strengthen cooperation with Nigeria.<\/p>\n
Zelenskyy used the opportunity of the goodwill message to extend his invitation to the President-elect to visit Ukraine on a State Visit as soon as he settles down in office after inauguration on May 29, 2023.<\/p>\n
The Ukrainian leader wrote:<\/p>\n
\u201cPlease accept my sincere congratulations on your election as President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria!<\/p>\n
Despite extremely difficult testing times, caused by the full-scale armed aggression of Russia against our State, Ukraine is determined to further strengthen cooperation with Nigeria at the bilateral level and within the framework of international organizations.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are grateful for your country\u2019s support of the Resolution of the General Assembly of the United Nations Organization \u201cPrinciples of the UN Charter underlying a comprehensive, just and sustainable peace in Ukraine.<\/p>\n
\u201cI count on the active participation of Nigeria in its practical implementation.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe see the further provision of global food security, of which Ukraine was and remains a reliable guarantor at the global level, as an important direction of cooperation. The fulfillment of this task will be facilitated by the successful implementation of the Ukrainian initiative \u201cGrain from Ukraine\u201d, which is designed to significantly increase the supply of grain to African countries in order to prevent famine.<\/p>\n
\u201cTaking this opportunity, I invite you to pay an official visit to Ukraine at a time convenient for you. I am confident that your visit will strengthen the dialogue between our countries and contribute to the further consolidation of joint efforts of the international community aimed at solving the urgent challenges of today, in particular the crisis situation caused by Russia regarding the guarantee of world food security.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
