On the afternoon of March 25, President Xi Jinping met at the Great Hall of the People with Prime Minister Skerrit of Dominica, who was in China for an official visit.
Xi Jinping pointed out that you are a senior statesman in the Caribbean region and an old friend of the Chinese people. For a long time, Mr. Prime Minister has always been firmly friendly to China, regarded developing relations with China as a strategic priority, and firmly supported China on issues involving China's core interests and major concerns. I highly appreciate this. March 23 this year marks the 20th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Dominica. It is very meaningful for Mr. Prime Minister to visit China at this special moment. I believe it will effectively promote the further development of the friendly relations between the two countries.
Skerrit said: "Dear President Xi Jinping, although China and Dominica are far apart, they have always been true friends. We firmly support the one-China principle and oppose politicization and interference in China's internal affairs. We appreciate China's efforts in building a world with humanity. Achievements in building a prosperous society centered on well-being, including eliminating extreme poverty and maintaining stable economic growth. We also welcome the Belt and Road Initiative, the Global Development Initiative, and the Global Civilization Initiative, and we also hope that Dominica can participate in these initiatives Achievements have been achieved. Dominica considers itself an all-weather friend of China, and the firm friendship between the two countries is always worthy of trust."
