The exchanges between China and Grenada have also effectively promoted friendship between the countries.
The ambassador encouraged the students, while in China, to overcome all difficulties, adapt to the learning environment, study hard, increase their talents, and then finally return to serve their country, to effectively contribute to the economic and social development of Grenada, and be a good civil ambassador of China and Grenada.
The students expressed their gratitude to the Chinese Ambassador for the support and assistance from the Chinese government and people, determined to cherish this precious opportunity to study hard and strive to return to the country to serve.
