Following concerns raised by members of the local business community regarding challenges with obtaining goods purchased from suppliers in China, President of the Georgetown Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GCCI), Mrs. Kathy Smith, and Senior Vice President, Mr. Gavin Ramsoondar engaged Mr. Li Hanqing, Economic and Commercial Counselor of the Chinese Embassy on Friday.

“The meeting was organised by the GCCI to address pressing concerns as it essential that Guyanese companies are assured of the credibility of businesses they engage given the trade increase between Guyana and China. The meeting addressed issues related to challenges in communication with suppliers following payment, and incorrect products delivered,” the GCCI noted in a brief statement on Facebook.

It added that the two sides discussed collaborating to provide Guyanese businesses with a list of legitimate suppliers and platforms.

It was also noted that the Chinese Embassy in Georgetown would provide support in investigating and addressing the complaints raised by the Chamber so as to maintain transparency in transactions.
