Antigua and Barbuda and the People&#8217;s Republic of China would be enhanced not only at the macro leadership level, based on the strong relations that exist with the Chinese leadership, but also at the micro business level in which the delegation visited a number of businesses in bio-medics and climate change to include electric vehicles.\u00a0 He said that he is hoping that his government can encourage at least two electric vehicle firms to do business here on Antigua, as the country seeks to transition from fossil fuel vehicles into EVs which would help to reduce the country\u2019s carbon footprint during the transition from fossil fuels into renewables.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOverall, very exciting and certainly very positive developments in terms of agreements that we signed and we also launched our new embassy in Beijing, so we now have a physical presence in Beijing and that too signals that we have now lifted our bilateral relationship to a new level.\u00a0 We will continue to strive to increase and improve this relationship, to take this relationship to new heights because it&#8217;s one of the most important developmental relationship for Antigua and Barbuda.\u00a0 I am very pleased to be back home and I would say that the trip was a most successful trip.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Other members of the Antigua and Barbuda delegation returning
