千里達及托巴哥共和國

位於加勒比海南端,和南美洲的委內瑞拉隔海相望,常簡稱為「T&T」。過去曾被西班牙人、法國人、英國人、荷蘭人統治,造就了現在多元的文化樣貌。是美洲最發達的國家之一,經濟發展多元,不只依靠旅遊業,同時也是加勒比的金融中心,更是整個拉丁美洲的第一大天然氣出口國。近年來和中國互動密切,不僅加入一帶一路,2022年更和中國共同開闢「鳳凰園工業區」。目前中國已經成為該國第二大貿易夥伴。冷知識,美國知名饒舌女星妮姬·米娜(Nicki Minaj)就出生於千里達及托巴哥唷!

Trinidad and Tobago is the southernmost island country in the Caribbean with Venezuela a short distance away just across the sea. Many Indian workers and African slaves were imported during British rule. The ethnic makeup of Trinidad is dominated by two groups, descendants of enslaved people and Indo-Trinidadians, or East Indians. Its economy is pretty good for the Caribbean region. It promotes the economic integration of the Caribbean and supports the establishment of a Free Trade Area of the Americas, lobbying other nations to seat the Secretariat in the Port of Spain, its capital city. The island is particularly renowned for its annual Carnival celebrations, which bring in lots of tourism revenue. The 2023 Carnival will take place on February 20th and 21st. Hopefully, we will be able to travel abroad then!
