The “Belt and Road” cooperation embraces the historical trend of economic globalization, responds to the call for improving the global governance system and meets people’s longing for a better life. China and Barbados maintain sound and friendly relationship with each other since establishing diplomatic relations in 1977. This February, the two countries signed the Memorandum of Understanding on Cooperation within the Framework of the BRI in Beijing. Looking ahead to the future, China and Barbados will carry out more cooperation within the BRI framework, to join hands to sow the seed of cooperation, to harvest the fruit of development, to lift our bilateral relations and pragmatic cooperation to a higher level, so as to benefit peoples in our two countries.
