Government continues to make significant strides in establishing and strengthening linkages with its trading partners.
This was evident by the remarks of Prime Minister Samuel Hinds, yesterday, when he received a delegation comprising officials from the city of Chongqing and representatives of Bosai Mineral Group.
Also present was Chinese Ambassador to Guyana , Zhang Jungao. Chongqing is a major city in southwestern China.
The other members of the Chinese delegation included Zhou Chuanhang, Deputy Secretary General, Chongqing CPP, Chen Jian, Vice Chairman Chongqing Association of Industry and Commerce, Zhang Xinhai, President of Chongqing – Bosai Minerals Group, and Lu Yin, the Division Director of the Chongqing Foreign and Overseas Chinese Affairs Office.
Noting that this is the second time that he has met with the delegation, Prime Minister Hinds said that he was very impressed with the knowledge and friendship of the Chinese people and that China is a hardworking nation, which sets an example and plays an important role in the world, in matters of international affairs and economic trends, having demonstrated, over the past century, that dedication and hard work produce positive returns.
He recognised that Chinese goods and products are popular items in the markets and department stores in Guyana and that they are quality articles, provided at affordable prices. In addition, there are other Chinese business operations in Guyana, including several firms conducting logging ventures.
Weng Jieming, Minister of United Front Works Development of Chongqing and the Communist Party of China (CPP), spoke on behalf of the people of Chongqing. He said that the people of China, in general, are familiar with Guyana.
He noted that in the Caribbean, Guyana was the first country to establish diplomatic relations with China and has worked towards fostering and maintaining the mutually beneficial relation.
Jieming said in recent years, the economic and social developments in Guyana have been good and the Chinese people believe that Guyana is a beautiful and prosperous country where progress is apparent. There was an expressed hope that relations between the two countries would remain strong.
When an invitation to visit Chongqing was extended to the Prime Minister Hinds, he observed that he had visited China in 1995 and 2005 and was able to see the work of the Chinese people in creating and building harmony in society.
The Bosai Minerals Group is one of the largest privately-owned mining, fusion manufacturing and mineral processing groups in China. Bosai currently has over 13 plants principally located in South-West China which mine bauxite and produce alumina in its various forms. In 2007, Bosai purchased a bauxite mine and operation located in Linden.
