ROSEAU, Dominica, CMC – Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit will lead a delegation to China later this week as the two countries mark the 20th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties between them.
Skerrit told a news conference that he would be going to Beijing at the invitation of the Chinese government, adding, “I think it is essential to mark this occasion because there can be no argument that our partnership with China has resulted in significant benefits for Dominica.
“Across the length and breadth of Dominica, we see tangible investments in health, agriculture, education, and infrastructure development.”
Skerrit recalled that following the two natural disasters that hit the island, China gave valuable support to rehabilitate infrastructure and rebuild livelihoods and provided lifesaving vaccines and health equipment to assist in the management of COVID-19.
“So, China has been good to Dominica, and I look forward to the opportunity to convey our gratitude to the leadership of China in the next few days,” he said, adding that during his stay in China, “I will hold meetings with the President and Premier of China among other engagements.”
