TAGS: ECON EFIN ENRG PREL PGOV NI CHINA
SUBJECT: NIGERIAN - CHINESE DIALOGUE 
 
REF:  STATE 24937 
 
1. SUMMARY:  China/Nigeria relations have intensified in recent 
years.  Nigeria's role as a major oil producing nation has elicited 
Chinese (PRC) approaches in the energy sector and other areas.  At 
this time, there is no dialogue between the USG and PRC regarding 
Nigeria.  Potential areas of dialogue are in the oil and gas 
extraction sector and due to the PRC's increased role in the Delta, 
in working to assist in tempering the simmering troubles.  END 
SUMMARY. 
 
Trade Relationship Growing 
--------------------------- 
 
2. China's exports to Nigeria from January to December 2006 reached 
$2,853,304,000, up 23.9 % from 2005.  In contrast, China's imports 
from Nigeria from January to December 2006 were $277,659,000, down 
47.3 % from 2005.  In 2005 trade volume between the two countries 
reached $2.18 billion.  Nigeria is China's second largest export 
market and fourth largest trading partner in Africa. 
 
Bilateral Investments 
--------------------- 
 
3. The bilateral visits of the heads of State in 2005 and 2006 have 
spurred closer ties.  During President Obasanjo's 2005 visit to 
China five agreements, covering investment, telecommunication 
service and technical cooperation, were signed. 
4.  Following Chinese President Hu Jintao's 2006 visit to Nigeria, 
the PRC committed to invest $4 billion in oil and infrastructure 
projects in Nigeria.  In addition, the PRC announced the intention 
to take a controlling stake in Nigeria's 110,000 barrel-a-day Kaduna 
oil refinery and build a railroad system and power stations. 
5.  The Chinese state-controlled energy company China National 
Offshore Oil Corporation has announced a $2.3 billion deal to buy a 
45 percent stake in a substantial off-shore oil field in Nigeria. 
(NOTE: largest overseas acquisition for the company.  END NOTE). 
Several Chinese companies already have constructed factories in 
Nigeria and more are planned for a free trade zone in the south-east 
of the country 
6.  The PRC plans to invest in the Nigerian transport sector.  In 
October 2006, agreement was reached to help the Nigerian government 
put back on track the country's foundering railway system.  The 
PRC's offer of a $2.5 billion grant and expertise comes after the 
formulation of a 25-year comprehensive railway development plan that 
includes redesign of the existing railway tracks and expansion of 
the lines to new areas across Nigeria.  In all, an estimated 7,800 
km of standard gauge railway network, to connect all 36 state 
capitals and major cities in the country, will be built by 
concession-holders, which then will be responsible for 
infrastructure upgrades, expansion and maintenance, and train 
operations. 
OGUN STATE SEEING CHINESE INVESTMENT 
------------------------------------ 
7.  According to the press, Ogun State, the home state of President 
Obasanjo, has seen a major increase in PRC investment.  About thirty 
Chinese industries, have established factories in Ogun State.  Also, 
a Chinese investor has completed three huge industrial estates in 
Ogun.  Otunba Gbenga Daniel, Ogun State governor, has explained PRC 
investment in Ogun State as a testimony to the state's the private 
sector posture. 
USG/CHINA DIALOGUE 
------------------ 
 
8.  There has been no USG/PRC dialogue on cooperation in Nigeria. 
The USG and PRC are both assisting Nigeria in developing its oil and 
natural gas industry and China's increased role in the energy sector 
may be an opportunity to develop a dialogue.  Moreover, Chinese 
engagement in the Delta region has been affected by the kidnapping 
of foreigners including Chinese citizens.  The PRC might be 
persuaded to work jointly with the USG to focus on the social and 
economic factors that contribute to local tensions and make the 
Delta a dangerous place for us both to operate.
