A woman in carnival attire awaits the arrival of Chinese President Xi Jinping in Port-of-Spain, Trinidad and Tobago, on June 1, 2013. Xi and Peng arrived in oil-rich Trinidad and Tobago late Friday for the first leg of a Latin America and Caribbean tour aiming to strengthen Beijing's trade ties in the region. Xi kicked off his trip in this tiny English-speaking country off the coast of Venezuela before heading to Costa Rica and Mexico, ahead of a June 7-8 summit with US President Barack Obama.
