Mitchell thanked China for providing timely assistance after Grenada was hit by a super hurricane in July last year. Mitchell said that Grenada-China relations have continuously deepened in the past 20 years. Grenada firmly adheres to the one-China principle and China's sovereignty and territorial integrity must be respected. Grenada has benefited a lot from its relations with China and looks forward to continuously strengthening cooperation with China. The Communist Party of China adheres to the people-centered development concept and has led China to achieve great development achievements, setting an example for developing countries. Grenada is willing to learn from China's experience in governance. China is the leader of the Global South, has always adhered to the equality of all countries regardless of size, respects the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all countries, acts in accordance with its words in international affairs and is playing an increasingly important role. Grenada is willing to firmly stand with China, implement the three major global initiatives and maintain world peace and stability.
