As of December 2025, during the latest episode of the Leaders Talk series, President Sylvanie Burton of the Commonwealth of Dominica reiterated her country’s unwavering support for the one-China principle. 🌐
“There is only one China, and national reunification is inevitable,” Burton said, positioning Dominica as a potential role model for other Caribbean nations eyeing closer ties with the Chinese mainland.
She invited neighboring islands to join the diplomatic process, work towards shared development, and present a unified voice in regional and global forums. This move could pave the way for:
- Economic partnerships and investment opportunities
- Infrastructure and cultural exchanges
- Stronger regional solidarity and influence
Dominica’s stance underscores a strategic foreign policy choice, one that aligns with growing Caribbean interest in deepening relations with the Chinese mainland. As Burton calls on countries without formal ties to step forward, the region could see a new wave of collaboration and collective growth.
For young entrepreneurs and investors keeping an eye on global trends, Dominica’s diplomatic play highlights the potential impact of political alignment on market access and development opportunities. Meanwhile, students and academics can track how this shifting landscape reshapes Caribbean diplomacy and regional identity.
With Dominica leading by example, the Caribbean might be on the brink of forging a stronger, more united front—anchored by a shared vision of growth and cooperation. 🤝
