BRIDGETOWN, Barbados - Prime Minister Freundel Stuart has described as “very fruitful” the discussions he had last Sunday with the President of the People’s Republic of China, Xi Jinping, in Port-of- Spain.
President Xi was on an official visit to Trinidad and Tobago over the weekend, where he held bilateral meetings with the Heads of Government of the Caribbean Community countries which have diplomatic relations with China.
He later met with Prime Minister Stuart and his delegation separately, where subjects discussed included: rebalancing Barbados’ growing trade deficit with China, marketing the Caribbean as a tourist destination in China, and future co-operation between the two countries.
