It is my great pleasure to attend the ceremony of granting 2011 Chinese government scholarships to Antigua and Barbuda students co-convened by the Embassy of the People's Republic of China in Antigua and Barbuda and the Government of Antigua and Barbuda. I believe that, at this very moment, every student must be very excited and looking forward to the remote country-China. I am truly happy for you to win the precious opportunity to further your study in China. Congratulations!
