Bahamian Foreign Minister Fred. Mitchelle launched a speech in the farewell ceremony for Ambassador Jiao Dongcun. In the speech, Mitchelle highly compliments on bilateral trade cooperation between China and the Bahamas.
Bahamian Prime Minister Christie visited China in August. Mitchelle emphasized that the most important achievement of the Visit was indeed the signing of an Agreement whereby China gave a grant for the construction of a 15,000 seat stadium here in Nassau. Another important achievement on the political front was the visit, in April of this year, of Vice Minister Liao Xiaoqi, who led a twelve-man delegation to The Bahamas to discuss matters relating to technical cooperation and bilateral trade relations. At that time, our two countries exchanged letters regarding China’s support of The Bahamas’ application for accession to the World Trade Organization.
In his speech, Mitchelle also said that, in the past year ,the level of contact between Chinese and Bahamian businessmen has been unprecedented. This is just the beginning of the positive business links that we can and will continue develop between our two commercial sectors, thus contributing to the growth of international trade and the continued development of both our economies.
