IN a move aimed at deepening regional economic integration, the Guyana Office for Investment (GO-Invest) has entered a formal partnership with Procolombia, the national investment and trade promotion agency of the Republic of Colombia.

According to a press release, the two agencies signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on Tuesday, July 29, 2025, establishing a joint framework for cooperation in investment promotion and private sector development.

The agreement signals a shared commitment to facilitating cross border commercial activity, enhancing market access, and creating opportunities for businesses in both countries to collaborate in priority sectors.

The MoU was signed by Dr. Peter Ramsaroop, Guyana’s Chief Investment Officer and Rafael Cuesta, Procolombia’s Director for the Caribbean.
Also present were Graybern Livingston Forbes, Colombia’s Ambassador to Guyana, and senior representatives from both institutions.
The formal partnership is expected to accelerate engagement between Guyanese and Colombian enterprises in key sectors such as tourism, energy services, infrastructure, technology, agribusiness, and logistics.

“This partnership is grounded in a shared vision for regional prosperity,” said Dr. Ramsaroop, adding: “The Guyana Office for Investment welcomes the opportunity to work alongside Procolombia to identify viable investment opportunities, facilitate private sector linkages, and support sustainable economic growth on both sides.”

The initiative also leverages emerging logistical infrastructure such as direct air connectivity between Guyana and Colombia creating greater ease of access for investors and trade missions.
Under the agreement, both agencies will participate in joint promotion activities, and support the creation of partnerships between Guyanese and Colombian businesses. It also provides a structured platform for institutional dialogue between the two governments’ investment arms.

The Guyana Office for Investment said it is actively pursuing partnerships that align with its strategic objective of making Guyana a premier investment destination in the Caribbean and South America.
