Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, March 16. President Xi Jinping had a telephone conversation with Guyana’s President Ali on the evening of March 16.
Xi Jinping pointed out that China and Guyana are far apart, but their friendship has a long history.
Since the establishment of diplomatic relations, the cooperation in various fields between the two countries has been fruitful.
Last year, faced with the impact of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, bilateral trade between China and Guyana grew against the trend, showing great potential.

The two sides should strengthen cooperation on issues such as the United Nations and climate change, and promote the reform of the international system toward a more just and reasonable direction.
It is hoped that the Guyanese side will play an active role in the overall cooperation between China and the Caribbean and the development of relations between China and the Caribbean Community.
Ali said that today, I talked with President Xi Jinping on the phone with the leaders and ministers of important political parties in Guyana, thanking China for providing generous assistance to Guyana in fighting the epidemic, and admiring China for playing an important leadership role on many global issues.
The friendship between Guyana and China is strong and solid.
The Guyana side firmly adheres to the one-China principle, regards China as the most important partner in Guyana’s national development process, and is committed to strengthening the relations between the two parties and the two countries with China.
The Guyanese side hopes to actively jointly build the "Belt and Road" with China and strengthen cooperation in infrastructure and other fields.
