Antigua and Barbuda’s Foreign Affairs Minister, E.P. Chet Greene, has paid tribute to the People’s Republic of China on its 76th anniversary, highlighting the strength of the bilateral partnership and Beijing’s role in supporting the twin-island state’s development.
Speaking at the anniversary celebration, Mr Greene described China’s modern history as one of “resilience, transformation, and unprecedented progress.” He praised the country’s success in lifting hundreds of millions out of poverty, driving technological innovation, and establishing itself as a global leader.
“China’s story is not merely one of internal development. It is a story increasingly intertwined with a shared vision for humanity—one of mutual respect, win-win cooperation, and global peace and prosperity,” he said.
The minister pointed to decades of cooperation between Antigua and Barbuda and China, citing landmark projects such as the Sir Vivian Richards Cricket Stadium, the new terminal at V.C. Bird International Airport, and collaboration in agriculture, healthcare, and education. He said Chinese support had been “crucial” to the country’s development agenda.
“Our relationship is a shining example of how a major global power can work in sincere partnership with a small island developing state on the principles of equality and shared benefit,” Mr Greene added.
He closed by congratulating China on more than seven decades of achievement and extending best wishes for continued success under President Xi Jinping and the Communist Party of China.

China has indeed helped with development, but it’s important to weigh short-term gains against long-term commitments. We need transparency.
Chet as you and Gaston praise the Chinese could you explain the difference between their genocide from the 1950’s to 1970’s and the genocide by the Europeans and Africans responsible for the trans Atlantic slave trade and genocide of your fellow african ancestors!
Wow, what a pitch! Chet sounds like a Prime Minister in waiting. Wow!😉
WATCH YOUR BACK PRIME MINISTER 🥸
About time Chet push Gaston out of the way, Antigua would be looked on with more respect. He is not as caustic and would command much more respect
I like how he framed it, cooperation, not dependency. That’s the balance we need in foreign relations.
Mutual respect and win-win cooperation, that’s exactly how small nations benefit from partnerships with global powers.

Wow! All that effusive adulation posited by Chet Green, is like holy water down the drain. How rich and grand of him to be promoting continued hegemony, if only to exchange one for another; without relishing the benefit of the former embedded colonial obligations: worthy as if not even a stone, or rock, they’d left us to build on except! for archaic laws, and norms of colonial pump and circumstances. No asking for infrastructure benefitting an associations- much more higher than horses and buggy-cart roads, turned in habitable trench side dwellings “aka” St.John’s. This, the benefits derived for the strivers on who’s shoulder you rise to challenge the political reality with the wanton wholesale selling off of the people’s partrimony, for the next convenience of a few dollars more- not to be seen in the manifest destiny of the indigenous person’s wants. That, is most profound or lacking: As especially in St. Paul’s, Your’s Truely. Re: The retention of the land not to be squandered in demise of the people- forced to watch their replacement without restraint, or ambiguities of enclaves of denial, but for gracious servitude. There are no technology exchange for indigenous benefit aspired, outside of construction, and agricultural skillset, no light manufacturing and /or assembly./ developmental production design or desired form the past and present (diligence adherence) of associations for Our Ancestral tortured toil, now exchanged for you cuddling and fawning for the restoration of wanton encroachment by the interlopers You! Leaving no room for your people, but to be sandwich, and wedge-in-between: with unearn, contented benifit of the sell-off! buffer zones mentality you realish so well. While forgetting that, whomever controls the country’s economy, is designed and bound to control the destiny, too.
So, you! Go ahead, and croon your preference of exchange for one hegemony that is better than another, and see how it benefit the people you have constraint into continuous subjugation, while begging the quid pro quo, for a little pro-bono, eh?! Tarl! (A E’man dat!) A now e pocket a get fat, fat fat. An ehm! Dhem man a say, d greed in politics: mek tha man a do that.
