Trade on agenda as China’s leader visits

May 31, 2013

PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad - The official visit to T&T by China’s new head of state President Xi Jingping has generated different levels of expectation among Caricom member states. For the countries that have maintained strong diplomatic ties with the People’s Republic of China, the anticipation is that President Xi might unveil a new aid package specifically designed for the region.
However, there might be more anxiety than expectation for the governments of some member states, among them St Lucia, St Kitts and Nevis and St Vincent and the Grenadines, which have diplomatic ties with Taiwan. For those countries, the hope is that increasingly friendly Cross-Straits relationship between China’s mainland and Taiwan will be to their benefit. The Chinese President arrives in T&T for a three-day official visit.
