He said his visit is aimed at strengthening friendship, expanding consensus, deepening cooperation and promoting common development. The Chinese vice president was greeted by Prime Minister Bruce Golding, Vice Premier and Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Kenneth Baugh and other Jamaican officials at the airport. During his visit, Xi will meet with Governor-general Kenneth Hall, Prime Minister Golding and parliament leaders of Jamaica. Jamaica is the second leg of Xi's six-nation trip, which has taken him to Mexico and will take him to Colombia, Venezuela, Brazil and Malta. He will leave for Colombia on February 14. |
