Prime Minister Gaston Browne has called on other countries to emulate the relationship between Antigua and Barbuda and China, citing what he described as mutual respect and cooperation.

Speaking at celebrations marking the Chinese New Year, Mr Browne said China had shown how powerful nations should engage with smaller states, noting that Beijing has imposed no sanctions or visa restrictions on Antigua and Barbuda.

He highlighted the two countries’ diplomatic ties, pointing to China’s support for cultural exchanges, education and people-to-people links, including opportunities for Antiguans and Barbudans to study and travel there.

Mr Browne said China’s approach should serve as a model for international relations, particularly in an increasingly unstable global environment. He reaffirmed Antigua and Barbuda’s foreign policy stance of being “friends of all, enemies of none,” while stressing the importance of continued cooperation with China.
