Govt needs to take note of Chinese generosity

TIMES INT'L

Dear Editor,

The Stabroek News reported that “China ready to work with Guyana on renewable energy, infrastructure” (Friday, November 6, 2015). This is very good news which came out of a meeting held between the Chinese Ambassador Zhang Limin, President David Granger, Foreign Affairs Minister Carl Greenidge, Governance Minister Raphael Trotman and Minister of State Joseph Harmon.

The Chinese Ambassador says his Government will be working closely with Guyana in the areas of renewable energy and infrastructural development. But the Granger Government needs to seriously take note of the generosity of the Chinese Government which in my view intends to provide continued donations for Guyana’s Economic Development.

In this connection, while the Chinese Government provides donations to Guyana you have the Minister of Governance Raphael Trotman on the other hand threatening to close down Chinese businesses in Guyana such as Bai Shan Lin which contributes significantly to the forest sector.

President Granger therefore should ensure that Minister Trotman cease at once his threats against Bai Shan Lin and other foreign companies in Guyana’s Forestry Sector.

 

Yours faithfully,

Hubert Trotz
