2594-13-12-2019

On December 12, an exhibition of archive materials to mark the 40th anniversary of establishing diplomatic relations between Russia and Grenada opened at the Foreign Ministry.

In his opening remarks Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Grushko emphasised the feelings of sincere friendship, solidarity and mutual respect that tie the two countries together and that are stronger than any geopolitical turbulence. After a pause in relations caused by the US invasion of the island in 1983, Russia and Grenada once again have close relations; they work side by side to establish mutually beneficial cooperation and are developing a political dialogue in a systematic manner, which was confirmed by the Moscow visit of Grenadian Foreign Minister Peter David this past June. Our agenda includes strengthening the contractual and legal framework of our relations, increasing economic, education, cultural and humanitarian exchanges, including through available mechanisms of cooperation as well as the regular Russia-Caribbean media and business forum held in Grenada. He outlined the cooperative interaction on the international arena where we uphold the principles of multilateralism and prioritise international law.

Oleg Firer, the Ambassador of Grenada to Russia, underscored the progress in implementing specific cooperation projects in healthcare, education, infrastructure and other areas, and thanked Russia for its assistance in carrying out programmes of sustainable development in Grenada, including the supply of medical equipment to the island.

While addressing the audience, Chairman of the State Duma Committee on International Affairs Leonid Slutsky noted the favourable development of contacts between the two countries’ parliaments, which play an important role in the enhancement of friendly relations between Russia and Grenada.

A performance of Sergei Yesenin’s romance poem, “I don’t regret, I don’t call, I don’t cry,” by Royal Grenada Police Force Constable Sampson Sylvester, a graduate of Kikot Moscow University of the Russian Interior Ministry who was sent to Moscow specially for the occasion, added to the cordial atmosphere of the event.

The ceremony confirmed the potential prospects for Russian-Grenadian cooperation, interpenetration of cultures, traditions and values of our geographically remote but still close countries.
