DUBAI Chamber of Commerce and Industry President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Hamad Buamim, said the Chamber is ready to facilitate a Guyana Trade Office in Dubai.

The announcement came following a successful meeting between the Guyanese private sector and Mr Buamim on Wednesday.

He said that the office will promote and expedite continuous investment and trade partnerships between the two countries.

The Guyanese private sector representatives were led by Tourism, Industry and Commerce Minister, Oneidge Walrond and Culture, Youth and Sport Minister, Charles Ramson Jr.

Both delegations discussed ways to connect businesses for trade and business opportunities between countries and about increasing the presence of Dubai’s private sector in this part of the world.

Buamim emphasised his chamber’s desire to continue building relationships with emerging countries like Guyana, through private sector partnerships.

Prior to the meeting, the private sector delegation was told by President, Dr Irfaan Ali, at a breakfast meeting, to take advantage of the opportunities available and form themselves into consortiums. (Press and Publicity Unit, Office of the President)
