Antigua St John's - Ambassador of the People’s Republic of China to Antigua, His Excellency Liu Hanming, on Tuesday paid a courtesy visit on Minister of State in the Office of the Prime Minister Dr Edmond Mansoor.

During the visit, a wide range of matters were discussed, including the near 30-year-old bilateral relationship between both countries.

Ambassador Hanming indicated that between 2008 and 2011, over 120 Antiguans and Barbudans had participated in seminars in China, covering several different disciplines, and that China was committed to continuously providing this level of training.

Minister Mansoor in turn thanked Ambassador Hanming for China’s support in the training of technical personnel at ABS TV and Radio over the last three years, in particular. Eight members of staff at ABS TV and Radio have travelled to Beijing to benefit directly from a number of seminars focusing on TV and Radio Management for Developing Countries.

Minister Mansoor also thanked Ambassador Hanming for China’s commitment to the development of Antigua and Barbuda.

“With over 70)Antiguan and Barbudan students studying in universities in China, and with several major infrastructural projects like the Sir Vivian Richards Cricket Stadium and the restoration of the Gray’s Hill Reservoir complete, and with the impending construction of a brand new airport terminal, Antigua and Barbuda has formed a deep and mutually respectful relationship with the People’s Republic of China," Minister Mansoor said.
