Chinese Foreign Minister Visits Arrowpoint in Guyana
GUYANA – The State Councilor and Minister of Foreign Affairs of the People’s Republic of China, Wang Yi made a brief visit to Roraima’s Arrowpoint Nature Resort last Saturday (Sept. 22nd) during his two-day official visit to Guyana for bilateral talks with the Government of Guyana.
During his hour long stay at Arrowpoint the Chinese Foreign Minister took the opportunity to join Roraima chief executive officer Capt. Gerry Gouveia in some hiking, two rounds of bike riding and kayaking. Other members of his delegation also took time out to engage a game of beach volleyball.
At the conclusion of the visit Minister Wang Yi said it was a great experience.
The visit, arranged at short notice, was in response to the minister’s assertion that he could not visit Guyana without experiencing the pristine Guyana rainforest.
The Minister and his delegation ventured by boat from the Roraima Marina at Timehri across the Demerara River and up the Cumuni Creek making a brief stop at Santa Mission, a community of indigenous people.
