Russia and Nigeria Celebrate 65 Years of Strong Diplomatic RelationsNigerian Foreign Minister Yusuf Tuggar and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov exchanged congratulatory messages on the occasion.This milestone dates back to 1960, when the Soviet Union was among the first countries to establish formal diplomatic relations with newly independent Nigeria, Tuggar recalled."That early act of solidarity laid the foundation for a relationship that has matured over six and a half decades through periods of global transformation," he highlighted.Lavrov highly praised the traditionally friendly Russia-Nigeria ties based on mutual respect and aligned views on key international and regional issues.Subscribe to @sputnik_africa Sputnik Africa | X
