BCTA and CAEDA Strategic Cooperation to Advance China-Caribbean Collaboration
The Bahamas-China Trade Association (BCTA) has officially entered into a cooperation framework with the China Asia Economic Development Association (CAEDA) to promote long-term dialogue and collaboration in areas including trade and investment, legal services, digital economy, international forums, and cross-regional engagement mechanisms.
During the initial engagement, BCTA introduced The Bahamas’ key advantages in offshore finance, clean energy, tourism, and healthcare — and welcomed Chinese enterprises to explore partnerships across the Caribbean. The Association expressed strong interest in working with CAEDA to build structured channels connecting The Bahamas with Chinese provinces, business chambers, and industrial zones.
CAEDA, in turn, recognized BCTA’s growing role as a bridge between China and the Caribbean and emphasized The Bahamas’ strategic value as a gateway to the Americas. The two sides agreed to co-organize thematic forums, project matchmaking events, and policy dialogues, while deepening cooperation in areas such as compliance consulting, legal advisory services, and youth exchange programs.
This partnership marks an important step in institutionalizing bilateral cooperation and enabling a more interconnected global business network. BCTA will continue to strengthen ties with key organizations in China to foster a diversified, mutually beneficial platform for international collaboration.
