The President identified energy, mining, agriculture, infrastructure, biodiversity and environmental sustainability among the sectors offering opportunities for further development. He also highlighted the Government’s focus on strengthening Guyana’s human capital to support both emerging and existing sectors of the economy.

“I also underscored the significant opportunities for collaboration with local companies as we expand connectivity, strengthen our productive capacity and position Guyana to access new markets,” Ali said in a post on his social media page.
