President Goodluck Jonathan on Thursday reassured the global community of the safety of all participants in the World Economic Forum (WEF) scheduled for May in Abuja.

He gave the assurance at an audience with China’s new Ambassador to Nigeria; Mr Gu Xiaojie who presented his letters of credence to him at the Presidential Villa.

The President said the security challenge being experienced in parts of the country would not affect the safety of participants in the forum.

Jonathan welcomed the confirmation by China that its delegation to the forum would be led by Premier Li Keqiang.

"We will give all participants good reception in Abuja. We have faced security challenge, but we will overcome the situation so that our economy can move forward faster.

"Participants will not have problem with security during the summit”, he said.

The ambassador assured the President of China’s confidence in Nigeria’s security measures and ability to host the forum.

He also applauded Nigeria’s re-basing of its GDP and the country’s emergence as the number one economy in Africa, noting that it would certainly stimulate the inflow of more foreign investors.

The President also received the letters of credence of the new Malaysian Ambassador to Nigeria, Mr Lim Juay and the new Ambassador of Thailand, Mr Chailert Limsoboom.
