President Donald Ramotar on July 17 stressed the need for unity among Latin American and Caribbean countries and China, as he addressed Chinese President Xi Jinping and leaders from Latin American and Caribbean countries after the forming of a cooperation forum between China and the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC) in Brazil the same day, GINA said.
“For many of us, investment by China has helped keep us afloat. Chinese investment has been important also in helping us in having the necessary investments in our own countries. In Guyana for example, in expanding our airport transport system and many of our roads, the Chinese assisted us. I would like to express our profound support for the initiatives being taken,” President Ramotar stated, according to GINA.
