On the morning of January 13, 2025, President Xi Jinping met with Prime Minister of Grenada Dickon Mitchell, who is in China for an official visit, at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing.

Dickon Mitchell expressed deep condolences to the Chinese government and people for the earthquake in Ding-ri County, Xizang. Xi Jinping expressed his appreciation for that. Noting that this earthquake occurred in a high-altitude area in southwest China, Xi Jinping said China had completed rescue and temporary resettlement as soon as possible and will carry out reconstruction as fast as possible. The Chinese government is confident in and well-placed for a successful response to the earthquake.

Xi Jinping noted that in recent years, China-Grenada relations have developed steadily, with the two sides treating each other with mutual respect and equality, constantly consolidating political mutual trust, achieving fruitful results in practical cooperation in various fields, and increasingly deepening the friendship between the two peoples. China is ready to work with Grenada to forge stronger synergy between the development strategies of the two countries, and make China-Grenada cooperation more fruitful and beneficial for the peoples of the two countries. 

Xi Jinping stressed that maintaining and developing China-Grenada relations serves the fundamental interests of both countries and their peoples. Both sides should summarize the successful experience in the development of bilateral relations over the past 20 years since the resumption of diplomatic relations and draw a new blueprint for the long-term, high-level development of China-Grenada relations. China supports Grenada in independently exploring a development path that suits its national conditions and is ready to strengthen the exchange of governance experience with Grenada and enhance friendly exchanges in various fields. China's development will bring new opportunities for development to Grenada and other countries. China is ready to assist Grenada's economic and social development within the framework of South-South cooperation, and create new highlights in bilateral cooperation in such fields as new energy, green and low-carbon development, and the digital economy. China supports Grenada in enhancing its capacity for climate change response and disaster preparedness and relief, and is willing to continue encouraging the international community to pay attention to the concerns and demands of small island countries on climate change. Both sides should also increase personnel exchanges, strengthen exchanges and cooperation in areas such as culture, education and tourism, and further bring the two peoples closer. China advocates an equal and orderly multipolar world and universally beneficial and inclusive economic globalization, and is ready to work with Grenada to implement the Global Development Initiative, the Global Security Initiative, and the Global Civilization Initiative, to contribute to the building of a community with a shared future for mankind.

Xi Jinping pointed out that China always attaches great importance to its relations with Caribbean countries and is ready to continue to provide assistance within its capacity for the economic and social development of countries in the region and deepen the comprehensive cooperative partnership between the two sides.

Dickon Mitchell thanked China for its timely assistance after Grenada was hit by a devastating hurricane in July last year. Dickon Mitchell said that Grenada-China relations have deepened continuously over the past 20 years. The Grenadian side firmly abides by 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 applies a people-centered development philosophy and has led China to make great development achievements, setting a good example for other developing countries. Grenada is willing to learn from China's experience in state governance. As the forerunner of the Global South, China consistently upholds the equality of all countries, big or small, respects the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all countries, and matches its words with deeds in international affairs, playing an increasingly important role. Grenada is willing to stand firmly with China in implementing the three global initiatives and safeguarding world peace and stability.
