Nigerian diplomatic and bilateral engagements

Overview

Nigerian Vice President Kashim Shettima has undertaken several high-level diplomatic and bilateral missions to advance Nigeria’s international interests and domestic policy frameworks.

In late September 2026, Shettima conducted missions to Angola, India, and New York. Representing President Bola Tinubu, he participated in the African Union Assembly in Luanda and the 81st United Nations General Assembly. His advocacy focused on African economic empowerment and human capital, specifically addressing the treatment of African citizens abroad.

Following these engagements, Shettima led a delegation to Ethiopia in early October 2026 for the inaugural Nigeria-Ethiopia Nutrition Leadership Exchange. This mission, held at the invitation of Ethiopian Deputy Prime Minister Temesgen Tiruneh, aimed to facilitate knowledge sharing regarding multisectoral nutrition programs and food security frameworks through visits to various agricultural and production facilities.
