(CMC) – Antigua and Barbuda Foreign Affairs Minister, EP Chet Greene says his country must not neglect the importance of nurturing the existing relationships with Europe, China and the United States.
Addressing the “Diplomatic Encounter” which enters its second day on Friday, Green said also it was necessary for St John’s to broaden its diplomatic footprint particularly in key regions such as Africa, Central and South America and India.
“The expansion of our relationships in these areas is not a mere ambition but a necessity. The African continent, with its vast resources and emerging markets, presents a wealth of opportunities that we must seize,” he told the Antigua and Barbuda diplomats.
Green said that the relationships Antigua and Barbuda cultivates with Central and South American nations are equally crucial.
“These partnerships can facilitate mutual growth in sectors such as agriculture, tourism, and natural resources, fields where Antigua and Barbuda can learn and collaborate to propel our own economic agenda forward.
“Additionally, the potential partnership with India, particularly in technology, education and sustainable energy, holds transformative promise for our nation’s future.”
But he told the conference that he is not suggesting that the Caribbean country neglect the importance of nurturing its existing relationships with Europe, China and the United States.
In recent years, the Caribbean relationship with China, has come under the scrutiny, particularly with the United States questioning Beijing’s sincerity in the region. Earlier this month, Prime Minister Gaston Browne said that the fight between the two countries is not St John’s concern, adding “all we want is cooperation in the interest of our survivability, so that our people can thrive and have good living standards”.

WHAT THE HELL…! …NEGLECT IMPORTANCE OF NURTURING EXISTING RELATIONS…?
As much as the nation is expected to appease:
(i) ‘…THE CHINES:
(ii) …THE EUROPEANS: and
(iii) …THE DANGEROUS AMERICAN LEADERSHIP.’
***
FUNDAMENTAL QUESTION:
It now begs the ‘…FUNDAMENTAL QUESTION:
‘…JUST HOW, AND BY WHAT MEANS, WILL SUCH RELATIONS BE NURTURED?’
***
OR ‘…JUST HOW WILL THEY BE ‘…BETTER FOSTERED?’
More imports and nationals, but no more sales of ‘…RUSSIAN YACHTS…?’
***
WALK…? WHAT THE HELL…!
***
TALK GOOD, MY ESTEEMED FRIEND.’
