Nigeria’s Minister of Defence, Mohammed Badaru Abubakar, is participating in the 12th Beijing Xiangshan Forum, engaging with global defence leaders to explore new partnerships that could also open doors for Nigerian SMEs in the security and defence ecosystem.
With the theme “Upholding International Order and Promoting Peaceful Development”, the Forum highlights multilateral dialogue at a time when global threats are rapidly changing. Nigeria’s presence underscores its resolve to not only strengthen security ties but also leverage such collaborations for local economic impact.

Jointly hosted by the China Association for Military Science and the China Institute for International Strategic Studies, the Forum has become a global platform for trust-building, cooperation, and practical solutions that nations like Nigeria can harness for both security and SME growth.
