Todd reiterates Guyana’s ‘unswerving’ commitment to One China Policy

Minister of Foreign Affairs Hugh Todd with China’s new Ambassador to Guyana, Guo Haiyan

Foreign Minister Hugh Todd yesterday reiterated Guyana’s “unswerving” commitment to a One China Policy.

He made the declaration during a courtesy call from China’s new Ambassador to Guyana, Guo Haiyan, according to a release from Takuba Lodge.

In February this year a surprise announcement on the setting up of a Taiwan office here left Beijing incandescent. The arrangement was quickly terminated by Georgetown leaving it to face embarrassing questions about what had happened since Guyana had had a longstanding One China Policy that did not countenance any official contact with Taiwan.
