The talks between the ambassador and the prime minister emphasised the close relationship that has grown over the course of two decades of friendship, cooperation, and trust between Dominica and China. The two countries have collaborated in a number of areas since establishing diplomatic ties in 2004, including infrastructure, healthcare, education, and agriculture.
