China eyes deeper energy footprint in Guyana
(Kaieteur News) – China’s Ambassador to Guyana, Yang Yang, says Chinese companies are ready to play a bigger role in Guyana’s development, with energy cooperation emerging as a key pillar of the growing bilateral relationship under the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI).
Speaking during a recent interview on the Energy Perspectives Podcast, Ambassador Yang said Chinese enterprises are prepared to contribute expertise that benefits both Guyana and China. “I think Chinese companies are prepared to support China’s objectives by contributing technology management expertise and talent. This creates value for businesses while delivering benefits for both countries and our peoples,” she noted.

The Ambassador outlined that Chinese companies operating in Guyana under the BRI are expected to adhere to high standards, respect local laws and customs, and take on social responsibilities.
Ambassador Yang also highlighted the growing importance of energy cooperation within the China-Guyana relationship, pointing to opportunities beyond traditional energy infrastructure, including renewable and green energy development.
“I think it’s very important and looking ahead deeper and closer energy cooperation between our two nations can bring even stronger support to Guyana’s economic and social transformation, generate more tangible results for two nations and the real benefits for our two peoples,” Ambassador Yang noted.
She added, “Beyond traditional energy uh infrastructure, China can contribute ideas and solutions for green energy development. We are ready to support more green energy projects under the BRI framework helping Guyana advancing its environmentally friendly and sustainable development goals.”
