Green kicks off China tour in Fuzhou

May 21, 2008 News

Mayor of Georgetown Mr. Hamilton Green, on Saturday, commenced a working trip to the People’s Republic of China, with his first port of call being Fuzhou City, in the Fujian Province, which shares a twinning relationship with the city of Georgetown.

Mayor Green’s first day was spent touring the Minjiang University, where he met the President of that university, Mr. Bin Yang, and held extensive discussions pertaining to the possibilities of exchange and cooperation between the Universities of Minjiang and Guyana.

The Mayor also used the first day of his visit to meet with Mr Fang Quinghai, Secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Fuzhou Committee, and to attend a charity performance for the earthquake-stricken central China area.

Fuzhou City, located in the lower reaches of the Min River, is the capital city of the Fujian Province, and is situated in the eastern part of the province.

Fuzhou is the economic, political, cultural and transportation centre of Fujian Province, and was so named after a mountain situated in the north, called Mt. Fu.

During a state visit undertaken by President Bharrat Jagdeo and a delegation that included His Worship, the Mayor of Georgetown, Mr. Hamilton Green, in March 2003, to the People’s Republic of China, the opportunity was taken at that time by Mayor Green to establish friendly exchange relations between the cities of Georgetown and Fuzhou.

At the commencement of 2006, the Mayor of Fuzhou, Zheng Songyan, had then expressed an interest in seeing this municipal relationship strengthened and upgraded from a Friendly Exchange to a Friendship City Relationship, a proposal that was endorsed absolutely by the Georgetown Municipality, and subsequently consummated.

On this occasion, Mayor Songyan has invited Mayor Green to visit Fuzhou to pursue bilateral discussions aimed at examining possible ways of strengthening the Friendship City relations, to attend the 10th Cross-Straits Fair for Economy and Trade, and to pay attention to other municipal matters of mutual interest to the two cities.
