Bilateral relations

Antigua and Barbuda–China relations refer to bilateral relations between China and Antigua and Barbuda. Antigua and Barbuda has an embassy in Beijing.[1] China has an embassy in St. John's. Diplomatic relations were established on January 1, 1983, less than two years after the Caribbean nation's independence, under Deng Xiaoping and Prime Minister Vere Bird, respectively.[2] Diplomatic relations between the two countries have been smooth since then, as China supported Antigua and Barbuda's bid to join the United Nations.[2]
