The United States this evening disclosed that Guyana had agreed to the establishment of a Taiwan office here, a development likely to gravely harm Georgetown’s relations with China.
There has thus far been no statement from the Guyana Government on this.
In a statement this evening, the US Embassy said: “The United States applauds the agreement to establish a Taiwan Office in Guyana. Deepening ties between Guyana and Taiwan will advance their shared goals of prosperity and security. Closer ties with Taiwan will advance cooperation and development in Guyana on the basis of shared democratic values, transparency, and mutual respect”.
