The presentation took place at the Chinese Embassy in St. John’s.
The Governor General’s honour recognizes Ambassador Zhang’s four years of distinguished service in strengthening the bonds of friendship, practical cooperation, and cultural exchange between Antigua and Barbuda and the People’s Republic of China.
During her tenure, Ambassador Zhang championed tangible development support and capacity-building across multiple sectors, including education, agriculture, fisheries, security services, health, culture, and housing, advancing national development priorities.
Ambassador Zhang also deepened people-to-people ties through sustained cultural outreach, Children’s Day activities, Chinese New Year receptions, and National Day observances, welcoming Antiguan and Barbudan communities to experience Chinese culture and reinforcing mutual respect. She further supported local charitable initiatives reflecting a sincere commitment to community well-being.
His Excellency Sir Rodney Williams said:
“Ambassador Zhang’s tenure has been marked by faithful service and practical partnership.
Her leadership has translated goodwill into real benefits for our people—strengthening institutions, building capacity, and nurturing cultural understanding. On behalf of the Government and people of Antigua and Barbuda, we thank her for a legacy that will endure.”
Her Excellency Lady Williams added:
“Through consistent outreach and genuine friendship, Ambassador Zhang brought our communities closer together. We are grateful for her warm engagement with our schools, our cultural groups, and our charitable organizations.”
In accepting the award, Ambassador Zhang expressed appreciation for the honour and reiterated China’s commitment to continued cooperation and friendship with Antigua and Barbuda.

I thought national awards were given as recognition to work done for the betterment and development of Antigua and Barbuda.
Please I beg thee.
Can someone tell me what the Chinese ambassador has done for Antigua?
Wasn’t she here working for her country?
If someone has to be proud of her service then I want to believe that it is the government of China.
She did whatever she did on the instructions of China.
She could not deviate from the directives of China.
Come on!!!
Our national awards are being watered down.
Who will defend us against the wanton giveaway of national awards by this regime???????
Congratulations! Thank you for your work and service to Antigua & Barbuda.
That’s wonderful! Ambassador Zhang has really done a lot for Antigua and Barbuda during her time here. Well deserved.
