The Caucus of Caribbean Embassies in Beijing and the Commercial Office of Haiti organized the "Caribbean Experience 2024" event in the Chinese capital on May 18, celebrating the friendship between China and Caribbean nations, as well as the region's cultural, tourism, and business opportunities.
The event showcased the unique beauty, cuisine, music, and dance of the participating Caribbean countries, which included Antigua and Barbuda, the Commonwealth of the Bahamas, Barbados, the Commonwealth of Dominica, Grenada, Haiti, Jamaica, the Cooperative Republic of Guyana, the Republic of Suriname, and the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago.
