CHINA’S newly appointed Ambassador to Guyana, Yang Yang, has affirmed her country’s commitment to strengthening bilateral relations and expanding co-operation with Guyana in key areas such as low-carbon development, climate change response, and green energy transitions.

Speaking at her first official signing event last week in Linden, Ambassador Yang Yang highlighted the deepening mutual trust and practical co-operation between the two nations, stating, “Economic co-operation has grown closer, and cultural exchanges have become increasingly active.”
Ambassador Yang arrived in Guyana on April 17, 2025, to assume her duties, and despite being here for just a month, she expressed how she felt encouraged by the energy of Guyana’s development efforts and the hospitality of its people.

Reflecting on more than five decades of diplomatic relations, first established on June 27, 1972, Ambassador Yang reaffirmed China’s readiness to pursue stronger collaboration under the Belt and Road Initiative.

“China and Guyana are partners in the high-quality joint construction of the Belt and Road Initiative and also share the benefits of its fruitful achievements. Under the framework of the Belt and Road Initiative, our mutual beneficial co-operation has brought tangible benefits to both our countries and both our peoples,” she noted.
She further underscored China’s focus on sustainable growth and the importance of aligning with Guyana’s own ambitions.

“Today, sustainable development stands at the golden key to addressing global changes. China is accelerating its transition towards a comprehensive transformation of economic and social development, while Guyana is also ambitiously striving towards the goals set in the Low-Carbon Development Strategy 2030.”
Ambassador Yang Yang guaranteed, on behalf of the Embassy, that they would urge and support their enterprises to pursue high-quality and efficient construction, as well as ensure a timely

delivery with assured standards, and contribute to Guyana’s economic and social development.
Looking ahead, the Ambassador expressed optimism for the future of bilateral ties.

“We look forward to seeing more cooperative projects harnessing our continental advantages to achieve mutual benefits and shared success and injecting new momentum into the development of our friendly relations,” she said.
