Georgetown: Guyanese have a central role to play in the bridging of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) and South America in view of greater integration of the economies.
This was one of the pertinent charges delivered to the representatives (Members of Parliament) of the Guyanese Constituency when he convened the 10th Parliament on Friday last.
The President in his address to the gathering which included key Guyanese stakeholders such as the Chairman of the Private Sector Commission, Ramesh Dookhoo, and Union leaders among others said that he is sure that Guyana’s CARICOM partners must have observed the great possibilities that can be had in the south.
“It would certainly be in CARICOM’s interest to broaden its own relations.”
The President reminded that Guyana must continue to build and consolidate its relations with traditional partners while, at the same time broadening those relations with others, particularly those emerging economies with whom the country has had long-standing, friendly and fruitful ties.
“Expanding our relations will open new markets for our products and services and make us less susceptible to the economic shocks that originate from outside our own borders.”
