PORT-OF-SPAIN, Trinidad (AP) — China's president has offered
concessionary loans to nine Caribbean countries totaling some $3
billion, Trinidad & Tobago's prime minister said Sunday.
Details of the offer were not immediately disclosed after a Sunday
luncheon, but Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar told reporters that
the loans would be earmarked for infrastructure and development projects
across the Caribbean.
"We really welcomed that generosity," she said.
