Nigeria’s foreign minister will attend a meeting in London next week to discuss how to tackle Boko Haram and terrorism in the African country.

British Foreign Secretary William Hague will host Aminu Bashir Wali and envoys from Nigeria’s neighbours Benin, Chad, Cameroon, and Niger, plus the U.S., France, Canada and the European Union for the June 12 meeting.

The Foreign Office said the meeting follows up on last month’s Paris summit on Boko Haram and will consider further measures to improve regional co-ordination.

Boko Haram, an Islamist terror group, has carried out a wave of deadly attacks in Nigeria and kidnapped more than 200 schoolgirls in mid-April.

Speaking alongside President Barack Obama in Brussels on Thursday, British Prime Minister David Cameron said both countries are committed to helping Nigeria.
