“Guyana welcomes foreign investment in our economy and over the years has developed an investor friendly climate through appropriate legislation, investor concessions and our participation in a number of free trade agreements including the Caribbean Basin Initiative (CBI) with the United States and similar arrangements with Canada, our CARICOM sister nations, Latin America and further afield,” says Honorary Consul Ramzan Roshanali.
“We also have a range of quality products in Guyana available for export and so we welcome this opportunity to work with the CTC on this Invest Guyana forum,” Roshanali said.
