The Nigeria-US Bi-National Commission is scheduled to hold between February 3 and 4, 2020 in Washington DC.
Ferdinand Nwonye, Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ spokesperson, announced this in a statement on Saturday in Abuja.
According to Nwonye, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Geoffrey Onyeama, would lead the Nigerian delegation to the meeting, with the theme: “Mutual Prosperity through Innovation and Ingenuity.”
The statement said: “Deliberations at the session will focus on areas of mutual interest, including good governance and anti-corruption, trade and investment, development and food security and security and counter-terrorism efforts.
