MINISTER of State, Joseph Harmon, on Friday received a courtesy call from a visiting delegation from South Florida USA, which is here to explore possible opportunities for business investments in Guyana.
The team, which met Minister Harmon at the Ministry of the Presidency, has thus far met with officials from the Ministries of Business, Finance and Public Infrastructure, as well as key stakeholders from the private sector.
The team has expressed specific interest in increased access to food products from Guyana for export, particularly pork and shrimp, along with fruits and vegetables.
Minister Harmon, in brief remarks to the delegation, highlighted the Government’s mandate of providing a good life for all Guyanese, stating that it is in this regard that Government welcomes such investment opportunities.
“There is absolutely no reason why we in this country cannot have a good life with the abundance of resources that we have,” a Ministry of the Presidency release quoted Minister Harmon as saying.
