A high-level Australian delegation led by Marc Innes-Brown has engaged Nigeria in discussions aimed at expanding bilateral collaboration in key sectors such as trade, mining, agriculture, and food security.

The delegation, led by Innes-Brown, who serves as the First Assistant Secretary, Middle East and Africa Division, Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, visited Nigeria to strengthen the long-standing ties between both nations.

Speaking at the fourth edition of the Nigerian-Australian Bilateral Consultation, Janet Olisa, Director of Regions at Nigeria’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, emphasised the similarities between the two countries.

“We believe we are close to the same climates, not much of a difference—probably you have a hotter one,” she remarked.

Highlighting the importance of trade, Olisa stressed that a strong economy is essential for national development.

“The economy is what makes and breaks a country. With a robust economy, a country will definitely know how to leverage on other aspects of life.”

She also commended Australia’s strides in agriculture and renewable energy, particularly solar power, expressing Nigeria’s interest in learning from its success.

“We would like to learn from what you’ve done, would like to see what’s the best practice,” she said.

She further noted that the consultation provides a crucial platform for both nations to build on past successes and introduce new initiatives.

“The consultation provides a platform for senior officials from both countries to discuss areas of collaboration, leverage on past successes, and introduce new initiatives.”

Australia Reaffirms Commitment to Nigeria

Responding to Nigeria’s remarks, Marc Innes-Brown reaffirmed Australia’s recognition of Nigeria as a key international and regional partner.

“We recognise Nigeria’s importance and the common interests we share,” he stated.

He noted that bilateral engagement has increased significantly over the past two years, referencing Australia’s support for Nigeria’s Investment Forum in Melbourne last year.

Innes-Brown also expressed condolences over the recent floods in Nigeria, acknowledging the devastating impact of climate change. He pointed to climate-resistant agriculture and climate change adaptation as critical areas for cooperation.

“Australia and Nigeria may be geographically distant, but we share similar features and common interests.”

“We’re both federal countries with diverse communities, and we play key leadership roles in our respective regions.”

Expressing gratitude for the warm welcome, Innes-Brown said he looked forward to fruitful discussions that would deepen ties between the two nations.
