Chinese Ambassador to Dominica H.E. Chu Maoming has articulated a comprehensive framework of China’s 2026 policy priorities, emphasizing global cooperation, infrastructure development, and green transition. During a recent press briefing, Ambassador Maoming highlighted that these policies are designed not only to bolster China’s domestic growth but also to create significant international opportunities, particularly for partner nations like Dominica.
Key focus areas include expanding high-standard opening-up, strengthening Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) cooperation, and advancing high-level self-reliance in science and technology. The ambassador underscored China’s commitment to negotiating more bilateral and regional trade agreements, improving cross-border trade facilitation, and supporting an open global economy.
In the context of China-Dominica relations, Ambassador Maoming pointed to ongoing and future collaborative projects. These include infrastructure developments such as the International Airport constructed by China Railway Fifth Group (CR5) and the reconstruction of six schools. Additionally, “small and beautiful” initiatives—like riverbank protection walls, house renovations, and community playgrounds—have already improved local livelihoods.
Agricultural and medical cooperation remain strong pillars of the bilateral relationship. A Chinese agricultural technical team has been working in Dominica for over two decades, enhancing food security and promoting high-value specialty products. Meanwhile, Chinese medical teams continue to provide critical healthcare services and training for local professionals.
A significant portion of the announcement focused on green development. China plans to accelerate its green transition by prioritizing carbon neutrality, developing green and low-carbon industries, and supporting renewable energy innovation. The country has already become a leading supplier of wind and photovoltaic equipment globally, substantially reducing the cost of renewable energy. Ambassador Maoming expressed interest in deepening cooperation with Dominica in solar and geothermal energy exploitation.
The ambassador also addressed broader global challenges, advocating for multilateralism and inclusive economic globalization. He reaffirmed China’s support for Dominica in addressing climate change, ocean governance, and economic resilience, emphasizing solidarity among Global South nations.
China intends to work closely with Dominica and other international partners to promote a multipolar world order, implement global governance initiatives, and build a community with a shared future for humanity.
