The visit is a clear demonstration of the close ties that subsist between Botswana and Nigeria and will afford the two leaders an invaluable opportunity to discuss bilateral, regional and international issues of mutual concern. The discussions will also explore potential areas for cooperation in the areas of, among others, mining and energy as well as trade and investment. The visit will therefore serve to further enhance these relations for the mutual benefit of the two countries and their peoples.
