Grenada’s efforts to fight the dreaded Covid-19 were boosted by the Embassy of the People’s Republic of China on Friday, 10 April 2020, with an official handing over of medical equipment and supplies to the Ministry of Health.

The donation, comprising of medical equipment and personal protective equipment, includes face masks for medical use, infrared thermometers, protective goggles, disposable sterilised rubber surgical gloves and surgical shoe covers.

The much-needed supplies were handed over by Resident Chinese Ambassador, Dr Zhao Yongchen who spoke of his country’s comprehensive, strategic and scientific approach to fighting the novel coronavirus and that it is now keen to help other countries around the world.

Minister for Foreign Affairs, Hon. Peter David and Minister for Health, Hon. Nickolas Steele, along with other members of Grenada’s Covid-19 Committee, were on hand to receive the supplies.

Minister Steele expressed deep appreciation for the medical supplies, which come at a time when most countries are experiencing challenges with the procurement of such.

The Minister for Health said, “Grenada thanks the People’s Republic of China for this donation of much-needed medical supplies. We are grateful too, for the leadership they have provided in this battle against Covid-19; their leadership in demonstrating the proper model for winning this battle; their leadership in showing that the battle can be won and that there is a light at the end of the tunnel.”

The gift reflects the excellent relations that continue between the Grenada and the People’s Republic of China. Minister for Foreign Affairs, Hon. Peter David noted that the donation comes even as that country faces its own difficulties in recovering from the impact of Covid-19.

Minister David thanked the People’s Republic of China for being a true ally. He said, “The strength of the relationship between Grenada and the People’s Republic of China is such that it can never be broken. We recommit ourselves to this relationship and we will do everything possible to ensure that the relations, not only widen, but also deepen.”

They also thanked the Chinese Government for ensuring that Grenadian students studying there, particularly in Wuhan, the epicentre of the outbreak, remained safe throughout.

    You’re kidding, right?
    The Chinese closed domestic Wuhan flights and yet they allowed flights out of China to spread their plague worldwide. They lied to the world about Covid 19 and with the help of their lapdog the WHO, the lie continued for months. They still do not allow international science investigations.
    The Venezuelan economy has been decimated by Communism.
    The Cubans, have you forgotten the Cuban invasion of your land during the Reagan Administration?

    I see people are saying that their happy for the assistance of China. I wonder if they are aware that this same China is one of the reason for the virus, also China have hidden agenda how do Venezuela and China benefit from helping Grenada what are the fine prints that we are not seeing. So sad that the Caribbean countries are not smart to join together to help build each other up. This will be a big slap in the face. China whole plan is to dominate take control.

    By covering this (China) Virus up for as long as they could, while buying up all of the personal protection equipment like, masks, gowns, test kits and the like from all over the world ensuring widespread shortages, China is the sole reason that Grenada and the rest of the World has this existential battle on its hands. Even now they still will not share critical information that would allow the true source of the Virus to be determined, a factor that is critical to finding a cure expeditiously. Here they come along with token gifts of support expecting to be treated like saviours. Tragically, many will be/are fooled by this.

    None of this should be unexpected. China is a Communist country that kills its own citizens at will. Communism is truly evil!

      Well said. Great points made.

      These peanuts token gestures will not ever cover the horrific economic loss, suffering, pain and loss of life: all due to this Coronavirus hitting Grenada & the world.

      This is a slap in our face by China. It is a crisis that will take great effort over quite a lot of time to recover from; if ever – yet the initial cover up in Wuhan has not stopped, but is yet an ongoing game of blind & cold blooded politics on the world by China.
