With implementation, the proposed areas for cooperation between China and Latin America and Caribbean states will contribute greatly to the growth and development of the regions, according to Minister of Foreign Affairs of Guyana Rodrigues-Birkett.
Speaking at the First Ministerial Meeting of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (Celac)-China Forum, which wrapped yesterday in Beijing, China, Rodrigues-Birkett emphasised the need for the plan to be converted into workable projects, which must be implemented with alacrity so that there can be an early harvest, a statement from the Foreign Affairs Ministry said.
“We are encouraged by the potential role of the Celac-China Forum in promoting increased South-South cooperation between China and the Latin America and Caribbean region. The proposed areas for cooperation cover in large part our common interest, and once implemented will redound to the growth and development of our peoples. We in Guyana see great value in the initiatives as outlined in the Cooperation Plan and embrace all opportunities afforded to be part of such collaboration,”
