“Guyana represents a compelling success story” – Peruvian Minister

…as trade mission to explore opportunities in Guyana

Opportunities in Guyana for investment recently took centre stage in Lima, Peru with discussions sparked by local consultant ACE Consulting Group and private and public sector figures in Peru, resulting in plans for a Peruvian Trade Mission to explore opportunities in Guyana later this year.
It was revealed in a statement that ACE Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Dr Rosh Khan took part in a roundtable discussion with other private sector officials while on a recent visit to Lima, during which they spoke of investment opportunities between Guyana and Peru.
The CEO Roundtable brought together senior executives, investors, policy experts, and thought leaders from both the public and private sectors. During the roundtable, detailed presentations were made on Guyana’s economic potential and the Peruvian private sector were encouraged to explore the opportunities available.
“During his feature presentation, Dr Khan provided a comprehensive overview of Guyana’s investment climate, sharing insights and market intelligence. The presentation highlighted key growth sectors such as energy, agriculture, infrastructure, and tourism, and underscored Guyana’s reputation as one of the world’s fastest-growing economies,” the statement explained.

Former Peruvian Housing, Water and Sanitation Minister, and former Minister of Health, Hernán Garrido-Lecca — who played a central role in organising the Lima event – was meanwhile quoted as expressing enthusiasm for the potential partnerships that could be forged.
“Guyana represents a compelling success story and a natural partner for Peru. We are excited about the prospect of building new business and policy bridges between our two nations,” the Minister said.
While in Lima, strategic meetings were also held with senior Government officials, including the Vice Minister at Peru’s Ministry of Energy and Mines, Henry Luna, and Executive President of INGEMMET (Geological, Mining, and Metallurgical Institute), Luis Humberto Chirif Rivera.
“Both parties expressed strong interest in strengthening technical collaboration, particularly in areas of resource development and sustainable mining. As part of the visit, Dr Khan toured mining sites that are pioneering sustainable practices — blending extraction with agroforestry, reforestation, and environmental stewardship. These site visits provided powerful case studies for how natural resource development can coexist with ecological responsibility.”

Coming out of the Roundtable discussion was early planning for a Peruvian private sector delegation to visit Guyana later this year. While in Guyana, the Peruvian Trade Mission will explore opportunities in pharmaceuticals, farming, mining, fintech and construction, among others.
It was explained that the visit would be coordinated between ACE Consulting Group and key stakeholders in Guyana. According to Khan, there is much that Latin America and the Caribbean can learn from each other.
“Latin America and the Caribbean have so much to learn from each other, and so much to gain by working together. Guyana is on the rise, and there is clear appetite here in Peru to explore joint ventures, share best practices, and participate in Guyana’s remarkable development journey,” Dr Khan said.
Another key outcome from the discussions was an agreement for planning to begin for the creation of a Peru-Guyana Chamber of Commerce, with the support and leadership of Amora Carbajal, former President of PromPeru, the Investment and Trade Promotion Agency of Peru.
“Dr Khan’s visit to Peru forms part of his broader efforts at ACE Consulting Group to position Guyana’s private sector on the global stage and attract investment partnerships that empower local entrepreneurs and deepen the country’s local content capacity,” the statement added.
Guyana and Peru established diplomatic relations on July 17, 1971. In November 2022, President Ali accredited Ambassador David Malaga as the Non-Resident Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Peru to Guyana.
