According to GOGEC President Manniram Prashad, the agreement reinforces the strong and enduring partnership between the two nations, emphasising shared values, mutual trust, and a commitment to regional peace and security.
GOGEC said on Thursday that also supports President Irfaan Ali’s stance on providing different and preferential treatment to close allies who have consistently backed Guyana’s territorial integrity. With the country’s oil and gas sector continuing to expand, the Chamber sees the MOU as a timely and critical step in ensuring stability and safeguarding Guyana’s sovereignty.
The organization applauded the U.S. government’s reaffirmed commitment to addressing security concerns, including transnational crime, human trafficking, and money laundering. It also recognized ExxonMobil as a responsible corporate entity contributing to Guyana’s economic growth through its investments and local content initiatives.
GOGEC reiterated its commitment to collaborating with the government and industry stakeholders to advance Guyana’s sustainable energy future and economic resilience.
