Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday said Nigeria will partner with the Republic of Turkey in dealing with the current security challenges facing the nation.<\/p>\n

According to his spokesman, Garba Shehu, Buhari spoke at a bilateral meeting with Recep Tayyip Erdogan, his Turkish counterpart, shortly before the official commencement of the 3rd Turkey-Africa Partnership Summit in Istanbul.<\/p>\n

Mr Garba stated that President Buhari, during the meeting, acknowledged that Turkey had garnered a lot of experience dealing with security challenges of various kinds and Nigeria will latch onto that experience.<\/p>\n

Buhari said: \u201cTurkey has practical experience dealing with challenges over the years and Nigeria stands to gain from that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Giving assurances that the relationship between the two states will continue to grow for the mutual benefits of both countries, President Buhari said he was pleased with the Turkish offer of support in the area of security and peace in Nigeria.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wish to express my appreciation for the special invitation for this meeting and to express my happiness with your offer of assistance in dealing with the challenges facing us.<\/p>\n

\u2018\u2018I await the reports of officials and the ministers as they hold meetings with their counterparts. I assure you that I will endorse all their positive recommendations,\u201d President Buhari assured Erdogan.<\/p>\n

Earlier, the Turkish leader said that he was happy to receive President Buhari shortly after he paid an official visit to Nigeria.<\/p>\n

\u201cTurkey understands the challenges facing Nigeria and its needs, and we are ready to assist you to meet those needs especially in the area of defence.<\/p>\n

\u2018\u2018I am happy Nigeria is stepping up cooperation with other nations in areas of defence and health, and we are ready to cooperate with you on these areas and more,\u201d said President Erdogan.<\/p>\n

Turkey, which has growing recognition in the world as a military power and had successes to show in Iraq, Syria, Libya and lately Azerbaijan, said it welcomed the Nigerian government\u2019s decision to buy naval ships from their shipyard, noting that discussions are ongoing on how to strengthen the capacity of the Defence Industries Corporation (DICON) in Kaduna in line with an agreement signed during President Erdogan\u2019s last state visit.<\/p>\n
