Guyana recognises Taiwan in major policy shift

…Taiwan to open embassy in Guyana

The United States has applauded Guyana for its agreement to recognise Taiwan moving a way from its decades-old policy of embracing the One-China policy.

In a statement the US Embassy here said that Taiwan will establish a Taiwan Office in Guyana.  “Deepening ties between Guyana and Taiwan will advance their shared goals of prosperity and security.  Closer ties with Taiwan will advance cooperation and development in Guyana on the basis of shared democratic values, transparency, and mutual respect.”
