Former regional diplomat says Caribbean still requires special attention from China

Jul 25, 2013

BEIJING, China, CMC – Former Antigua and Barbuda diplomat, Sir Ronald Sanders, says Caribbean countries are still in need of special attention and urged China not to place the region in the same category as many Latin American countries.
Addressing a China-Latin American Forum here on Tuesday, Sir Ronald argued that "while efforts at integration of Latin America and the Caribbean have started, they are at a very early stage of overcoming historical obstacles and impediments, and the smaller Caribbean economies continue to require special attention.
“It would not be correct for China to place Caribbean countries in the same conditions as many Latin American nations,” he told the think-tank forum that was organized to discuss 'business and investment co-operation between Latin America and the Caribbean' and 'how to advance holistic co-operation' between the two areas.
