Chinese Ambassador and Permanent Representative to the UN Wang Guangya presented Prime Minister Spencer with a cheque for US$40,000 as his country’s contribution to the Economic Co-operation among Developing Countries (ECDC) account of the Group of 77. As he presented the cheque, Ambassador Wang congratulated Antigua and Barbuda on its assumption of the chairmanship of the G77 and pledged the full co-operation of the Chinese delegation throughout the year.
