Grenada’s Prime Minister Dickon Mitchell touched down in Beijing this week, kicking off a high-stakes diplomatic visit aimed at strengthening ties between the Caribbean nation and China. The trip, which runs until January 17, comes at the invitation of Chinese Premier Li Qiang.
Mitchell’s agenda includes talks on economic collaboration, climate resilience, and tourism partnerships – all hot topics for young professionals eyeing APAC market trends. The visit aligns with China’s growing partnerships with small island states, especially in green energy projects and digital infrastructure.
While details remain under wraps, insiders suggest new agreements could emerge under China’s Belt and Road Initiative. Grenada, known for its nutmeg exports and eco-tourism, might seek tech support for sustainable agriculture – a win-win for climate-conscious Gen Z travelers and entrepreneurs.
Key highlights to watch:
Clean energy investment talks
Cultural exchange programs
