At the meeting, the two sides agreed to strengthen cooperation in the fields of infrastructure construction and energy development.

The Republic of Trinidad and Tobago is a country with a developed oil and gas industry. Therefore, China is increasing cooperation in the energy sector with this country in the hope that the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago can be a new energy bridgehead for the world's second economy, which is thirsty for energy.

The Caribbean countries including the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago are English-speaking countries, geographically distant from China. However, with its “all-encompassing, multilateral” foreign policy, China wants to exert its influence even in the most distant countries.

This is Xi Jinping's second foreign trip after his visit to Russia. President Xi Jinping is accompanied by many large businesses.

After his visit to the Americas, President Xi Jinping will visit the United States. During his visit to the United States, President Xi Jinping and President Obama are expected to focus on discussing the relationship between the “two new types of major countries.”

This concept is a concept originating from China's diplomatic expansion policy. Although it is quite "vague", it shows China's desire to "stand shoulder to shoulder" with the US in some international issues.

According to analysts, this demonstrates China's "ambition" in exerting China's influence in the world and the process of realizing the "Chinese dream"./.
