During his Carnival visit to Trinidad and Tobago, the Trinidad and Tobago Ambassador to the People’s Republic of China, Professor Chen Zi Ming of the China Conservatory of Music, paid a courtesy call to the UWI St. Augustine campus in February. The delegation included His Excellency Chandradath Singh, and Mr. Clement James of the International Conference and Panorama Secretariat (ICP). They were met by Pro Vice-Chancellor and Campus Principal, Professor Clement Sankat and Dean of the Faculty of Humanities and Education, Heather Cateau. The discussion revolved around ways to further strengthen the relationship between China and Trinidad and Tobago, as it relates to the performing arts; with particular interest in the Steelpan. Professor Sankat gave the assurance that The UWI, through its music and theatre arts departments, will continue to explore ways to establish closer ties with the People’s Republic of China, having recently established a Confucius Institute at the St. Augustine campus. |
