The forum was attended by delegations from six African countries. NIPC and the Nigerian Economic Summit Group (NESG) represented the country. The next forum is scheduled for Cairo, Egypt this year 2009. The event was successful and there were some understandings between the host country and some Chinese businesses to finance investments in cement, fertilizer, iron ore and coal. UNDP was to fund the costs of the preliminary studies of these projects. Of importance to NIPC was the proposal from IFC to take a select group of top Chinese businesses to some African countries including Nigeria. The trip was proposed for July 2008, but did hold. Meanwhile, NIPC would still follow-up with IFC on the facilitation visit to Nigeria. MR.
