Bilateral relations exist between the People's Republic of China and the Bahamas. Diplomatic relations were established on May 23, 1997.[1] Less than two months later, the Chinese government opened up an embassy in Nassau, on the island of New Providence.[1] The government of The Bahamas has not established an embassy in Beijing, although in 1999 Dr. Arthur Foulkes was appointed the first non-resident ambassador.[1] Prime Minister Hubert Ingraham became the first Bahamian head of government to visit China in 1997.[1]
Economic relations
[edit]In 2002 trade volume between the countries totalled some $62.93 million, with China exporting all but $60,000 of that.[1]
