Officials from Long Jiang Forest Industries Group are expected in Guyana next month for a ‘fact-finding mission’ as it seeks to fully take over the operations of logging firm Baishanlin whose operations have ground to a halt.

The officials from the Chinese state-owned forestry company were expected in Guyana since May but did not show. They are now expected to arrive next month. “Earlier in the month a letter was sent which indicated that officials from Long Jiang Forest Industries Group are expected in August for a fact-finding mission,” Minister of Natural Resources Raphael Trotman told Stabroek News recently.
