Guyana is sending a trade mission to Brazil this month as the two countries seek to strengthen trade relations between them.
A government statement said that the mission comprising government officials and private sector representatives will visit Boa Vista and Manaus, Brazil, from March 17- 21 and follows discussions between President Dr Mohamed Irfaan Ali and his Brazilian counterpart Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva during a meeting in Georgetown on February 29, last year.
It said during that meeting President Lula highlighted his country’s interest in participating in the development of ports, roads, and airways to enhance connectivity between the Caribbean and northern Brazil and that the state leaders agreed to facilitate the mission as part of ongoing efforts to enhance trade and investment between the two countries.
The mission will explore trade and investment opportunities with Northern Brazil and expand collaboration in areas, such as agro-processing, medium to large-scale manufacturing, tourism, food distribution and the establishment of a food hub.
The team will meet with relevant authorities from the State of Roraima and the State of Amazonas, including the governors of both states, tourism agencies, the Federation of Industries, Dry Port Authorities, Importers and Exporters and the Secretariat of Agriculture and Foreign Commerce, the statement said.
