OPPOSITION DELEGATION RETURNS FROM CHINA  
ST GEORGE’S, Grenada (CMC) – A Grenada opposition delegation has returned from a brief visit to China predicting improved co-operation between the two countries. Opposition Member of Parliament, Peter David said the delegation met with several Chinese officials who expressed interest in assisting Grenada, particularly in agriculture and fishing. David, who was among the seven-member delegation, said that they would be requesting a meeting with the Keith Mitchell administration with the hope of outlining the areas Grenada could benefit. “We’re requesting a meeting with the Government of Grenada to indicate what we believe are the areas of co-operation,” he said. “We are an opposition party and therefore we can’t engage the government in signing any agreements. All we can do is to tell our government about areas that our people can benefit,” David said. He said that whereas the government had engaged the Chinese in certain areas of co-operation, “we believe that there are other areas of co-operation that we can benefit, particularly the area of agriculture.” The government declined to comment on the visit of the delegation, which was led by Opposition Leader Tilman Thomas. But last year, the Mitchell administration switched diplomatic relations from Taiwan to China. Reprinted from antiguasun.com
