With Guyana now leading the push for greater regional food production within CARICOM, the removal of intra-regional trade barriers, specifically non-tariff barriers, has been a key priority.
Prime Minister Briceño believes that Belize can find new regional markets for its produce with this thrust. And, enhanced relations with Guyana may prove beneficial.
“We believe there is a lot that we can share.
“… we can also look at the issues of trade, education (and) cultural exchanges,” he said.
Already, Guyana’s President Dr. Irfaan Ali told the News Room that the Belizean Prime Minister is expected to visit sometime this week. The two countries are expected to sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) that will facilitate knowledge exchange and greater trade.
Prime Minister Briceño told the News Room that he is expected in Guyana on Wednesday and Thursday. He will be accompanied by his Foreign Affairs Minister Eamon Courtenay.
