Kalu stated this when he received the delegation led by the Mexican Ambassador to Nigeria, Alfredo Miranda, in his office at the National Assembly in Abuja.

He noted that Nigeria and Mexico are committed to democratic values and a vision of progress that benefits both countries’ citizens.

The deputy speaker made reference to recent data showing that Nigeria’s trade with Mexico stood at approximately $500 million in 2022, expressing optimism that there is ample room for growth.
Kalu noted that both countries should consider trade missions to showcase opportunities and exchange programmes like trade fairs.

He added that the government is committed to discussions, policies, and partnerships that will bolster economic ties, reduce trade barriers, and create new avenues for investments to enhance prosperity for both nations.

“We acknowledge your presence here as proof of the friendship and cooperation between the Republic of Mexico and the Federal Republic of Nigeria. The bonds of friendship between our countries are strengthened by our shared interests in areas such as trade, education, and cultural exchange.

“In recent years, Nigeria has made significant strides in various sectors, including agriculture, technology, and infrastructure. For instance, Nigeria’s agricultural sector has grown, with a contribution of approximately 21% to our GDP, reflecting our commitment to food security and sustainable practices.

“We believe there are tremendous opportunities for collaboration with Mexico, particularly in agriculture, where we can learn from each other’s experiences to enhance food security. Additionally, the exchange of knowledge and technology in the fields of renewable energy and innovation can pave the way for mutual growth,” Kalu said.

The deputy speaker, who is also the chairman of the Constitution Review Committee, called on the Mexican authorities to support Nigeria’s efforts to promote women’s representation in governance.

He said as the nation continues its journey towards gender inclusivity, the government is open to learning from Mexico’s experience.

Commending Mexico for pioneering its feminist foreign policy, which prioritises gender equality and empowerment of women on the global stage, Kalu expressed optimism that collaboration in this significant process will help Nigeria adopt best practices that align with the country’s aspirations for a more inclusive and effective governance framework.

Earlier, the Ambassador, Miranda, told the deputy speaker that they seek to strengthen parliamentary ties with Nigeria and work on economic, social, and gender equality issues.

“Nigeria and Mexico have to be closer. I know that you’re more concentrated in the development of social policies, we would like Nigeria to strengthen parliamentary ties with Mexico. In order to get together in a parliamentary way, work on different issues, economic, social, gender equality and so on,” he said.
