1. Embassy Grenada's weekly report (GWAR) provides a little
detail about events of interest that do not merit longer
reporting at this time.
2. Begin GWAR text:
a. (U)UNESCO Director General Visits Grenada
UNESCO Director General Koichiro Matsuura, during a first ever
visit by a UNESCO DG, pledged support for Grenada's efforts to
preserve heritage sites. The DG discussed a wide range of
issues with Prime Minister Tillman Thomas who expressed
appreciation on behalf of the government and people of Grenada
for UNESCO's assistance following Hurricane Ivan as well as its
support on education and health.
b. (U) Prime Minister Thomas to visit China
On January 20, the Chinese Ambassador thanked the Prime Minister
and people of Grenada for their recognition of the `One China'
policy. Six more Grenadians recently received scholarships to
study in China bringing the number of students in China to 50.
Prime Minister Tillman will visit China this year.
c. (U) Labor Leader Calls for Children to Plant Nutmeg
Far left Senator Chester Humphrey called on the government to
put the nation's children to work planting nutmeg trees during
the summer holidays, `like they do in Israel and Cuba'.
Humphrey said that since the children now get `free' school
books they should work for it. A member of the Nutmeg
Association said that he agrees that children could be involved
in the replanting of nutmeg trees; he envisions a competition
with awards based on the number of trees planted.
