Jagdeo also claimed that the Vice News journalist has a “predetermined agenda.”
“We are a small country and if you look at the interview, we do not want to be caught up in a cold-war like scenario between the United States and China,” Jagdeo said.
He added: “We believe in having friends everywhere.”
In its statement, the Chinese Embassy also said that it appreciates that the Government of Guyana upholds the One-China principle and keeps developing cordial relations with China.
“China-Guyana friendly cooperation, featuring equality, mutual benefit, innovation, openness, and benefits for the people, is in accordance with the interests of the two countries and two peoples, not against any third party, nor should it be influenced by a third party,” the Embassy said.
The Embassy also vouched for Chinese companies in Guyana, stating that these companies are following the local laws, international practices, and market rules, participating in big projects through open and fair competitions, which is beyond reproach.
