The Chinese Embassy here yesterday rapped the Kaieteur News over a news report on November 19 about the clearing of containers.
In a statement, the embassy said that on November 19, 2021, KN once again alleged in a report that “the Chinese Embassy in Guyana ‘was used to bring in containers of goods for its nationals who are operating businesses here’ through ‘its diplomatic channels’ in 2017”.
The Embassy in the statement yesterday said that it has “always been fulfilling its obligations strictly in accordance with the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, has never used and will never use its diplomatic status to practice any commercial activities for personal profit. The relevant allegations are purely malicious slander and rumours”.
The Embassy urged the newspaper to respect facts, comply with the ethics of journalism, correct its mistakes and apologize to the Embassy.
