President Muhammadu Buhari has arrived in Beijing for the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) summit.

The summit, which will be attended by Chinese President Xi Jinping and other African leaders, is scheduled to hold from September 3 to 4.

Nine ministers and four state governors are among the top government officials on the president’s entourage.

Buhari’s first engagement in Beijing will be an interactive session with the Nigerian community in China.

During the opening of the FOCAC Summit, the president in his capacity as current chair of ECOWAS will deliver remarks at the high-level dialogue between Chinese and African leaders, business representatives and African entrepreneurs.

Buhari left on Friday for the summit after receiving German Chancellor Angela Merkel at the presidential villa, Abuja.
