Justin Sun nominated as WTO Ambassador for Grenada

The Government of Grenada has announced the nomination of Yuchen (Justin) Sun to be its new Ambassador and Permanent Representative to the World Trade Organisation (WTO) in Geneva.

Once the nomination is accepted by the WTO, Justin Sun will be authorised and empowered to represent the Government of Grenada at meetings of the WTO.

HE Justin (Yuchen) SUN, a leading figure in the crypto and blockchain sphere, is best known as the Founder of TRON, one of the world’s largest and most popular blockchain platforms.

Grenada is a key member of the Caribbean Community (Caricom), the Caricom Single Market and Economy (CSME), and the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS).

“I look forward to the opportunity to represent Grenada and work with WTO leadership to reinvigorate global trade in various ways, particularly the development of a robust digital economy internationally,” Sun said as he awaits his formal acceptance.

With the appointment of Sun as Grenada’s Ambassador to the WTO, the Government of Grenada expects him to use his contacts to promote trade, investment and development opportunities for the country.

To mitigate the economic impact of the pandemic, he is expected to promote Grenada as a viable economic destination by introducing advanced tools and methods, and these changes could improve the marketing and promotion of this Caribbean country in the near future. Likewise, Sun is expected to support the development of human resources, infrastructure and information and communication technology for Grenada’s government. He is also expected to conduct himself in a manner that always positively promotes Grenada’s image in the international community.

    It is to late, China owns Grenada. Get ready to be the slaves of the Chinese in the future.

    Very strange pick for a national position ?? what was the cost to the people of Grenada ? Is there a payoff ?? follow the money … very weird

  3. YBD says:

    Sounds like Mitchell got paid off for allowing this insane thing to happen – is he saying Grenadians are not upto what this individual cal do ! Totally disagree – Remember the story of the Trojan horse – perhaps Mitchell forgot how that ends

  4. YBD says:

    Grenada cannot be represented by a NON Grendian and especially a chinese person – China is a BAD player on the world stage – you cant love the US and employee Chinese to run your policy !! What was the payoff ???? Only thing that makes sense

    ”
    Nearly everyone I talked to said the cornerstone of Sun’s business wasn’t necessarily technology, but using marketing to extract money from users. In a meeting, Sun once compared the marketing team’s objectives to the business of a “whorehouse.” With the failure of the Tesla stunt, the answer, to Sun, was to pursue a bigger, even flashier stunt: be the highest bidders at a charity auction for lunch with Warren Buffett.

    “He thrived on just doing anything for attention and clout,” a former employee says. “Clout-chasing, as the kids call it.” “

    This nomination stinks.
    Sun paid USD 4.57 million for a lunch with Buffet. How much did he pay for his nomination to KCM?
    Does he need a diplomatic passport for legal protection? A person with his profile will always do business. It is therefore illegal to provide a diplomatic passport to him.
    The international trade volume of Grenada is irrelevant for the WTO. There is nothing to represent. The nomination can only have a different motivation.

      no u shut it. you are irrelevant and contribute nothing to this country.

  7. JenJen says:

    Mitchell you are ignorant. Grenada needs to be represented by a GRENADIAN not the Chinese. You should move to China yourself. A FOREIGN person should NOT represent Grenada internationally.

      Totally agree with you…absolutely correct!!

      makes perfect sense- Chine is a opaque country that does not hold the same values as most others

      qualifications is what matters my friend. facts over feelings. wake up to the new world.
