Our fiscal policy is one of encouraging investors, regardless of their nationality or ethnicity. Chinese investment, however, has been particularly vibrant in recent years. This has coincided with the transformation of the economy of the People’s Republic of China. We encourage even more investment, including the establishment of restaurants such as this one,” the President said, according to a Ministry of the Presidency release.The Head of State used the opportunity to encourage the Proprietor of the New Thriving Restaurant Xiao Guang Zhao and Che Jian Ping, and other investors to invest in the agriculture and agro-processing sector even as Guyana transitions towards the development of a ‘green’ economy.Scenes from the launching (Ministry of the Presidency photos)
