Nigeria and the People's Republic of China have pledged military cooperation, especially in the training and retraining of security personnel in the areas of tackling terrorism and disaster response capabilities.
Under the arrangement, both nations would exchange programmes for military officers and students of their defence colleges.
These were part of the high points of the bilateral talks between the Senate President, David Mark and the President of the Chinese Parliament, Mr. Zhang Dejiang, who doubles as the Chairman of the National Peoples Congress, NPC, of China in Abuja today.
Mark, who played host earlier to Dejiang at the National Assembly, requested his guest to prevail on his government for assistance to Nigeria in the mass production of military hardware for the Navy, Army, Air Force and the police as well as aircraft spare parts production centre in Nigeria.
The Senate President also requested China to support Nigeria's bid for the UN Security Council seat as a non-permanent member in 2015 and as a permanent member from Africa in an expanded UN Security Council.
