China and Canada are to attend a one-day meeting to review strategies against Boko Haram.

The meeting is scheduled to hold in Abuja tomorrow.

Other countries expected at the meeting are France, United Kingdom (UK) and the United States (US), among others.

The meeting is a follow-up to the earlier conferences held at the summit level in Paris, France, on May 17, 2014; the London Ministerial, on June 12, 2014 and the meeting on the same subject matter held on the margins of the recently concluded Africa-United States of America Summit in Washington D.C.

The Abuja meeting is aimed at reviewing progress in the implementation of the outcome of the earlier meetings, especially the extent of delivery of foreign assistance, including efforts by the Nigerian government in the continued fight to put to rout the Boko Haram insurgency.

The meeting was confirmed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

It also confirmed that foreign ministers of Benin, Cameroon, Chad and Niger would equally be in attendance.
