President Muhammadu Buhari says Nigeria will support efforts to bring peaceful resolution and reconciliation on the Korean peninsula.
Presidential spokesperson, Femi Adesina, in a statement disclosed that the President gave the assurance on Friday, February 11, when he joined world leaders virtually to attend the opening of World Summit 2022, organised by the Universal Peace Federation (UPF).
“The Korean situation as defined by its history and geography is unique in the sense that as the only nation in the Asia-Pacific region that remains divided since the cold w#r era, peace on the Korean peninsula has far-reaching implications to the region, if not to the world at large.

We have enjoyed cordial relations with both Koreas in trade and commerce, education, cultural exchange, and technology transfer. And so, when it comes to what needs to be done to ensure lasting peace on the peninsula, we are happy to be part of it,” the president said.
