On Tuesday, the Mexican embassy in Nigeria inaugurated the Nigeria-Mexico Chamber of Commerce and its new board of directors to boost trade relations between the two countries.

Alfredo Miranda, ambassador of Mexico to Nigeria, described NMCC as a new chapter in the economic, cultural and strategic relations between the two nations during the ceremony in Abuja.

He stated that NMCC would bridge businesses, ideas, innovation and opportunities between Nigeria and Mexico, two countries rich in heritage, resilient in spirit and bold in ambition.

According to him, the NMCC will serve as a catalyst and provide critical support to businesses from both countries, promote trade and investment, offer market intelligence and foster mutual understanding.

Foreign affairs minister Yusuf Tuggar underscored the need for both countries to strengthen their bilateral ties to harness economic potential.

The livestock and rural development minister, Idi Mukhtar, promised to open a new vista for agriculture through investments in the production of red meat, animal disease management and dairy processing.

The president of NMCC, Arim Pete, said that the event marked a new era for the chamber to be built on trust, opportunity and vision.

NMCC was established in 2014 to promote bilateral trade and investment, support businesses in navigating regulatory landscapes and foster collaborations that generate jobs, technology and knowledge.
