  "summary": "The Federal Government has urged Vietnam to increase bilateral trade between Nigeria and Vietnam to $2 billion, as part of efforts to boost Nigeria's economy. Ambassador Dunoma Ahmed, the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, made this call at a reception marking the 81st National Day of Vietnam and the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Nigeria and Vietnam. The two countries currently have over $1 billion in trade relations, and Ahmed expressed hope that this figure would double, aligning with Nigeria's ambition to become a trillion-dollar economy.",
