Guyana, one of the fastest growing countries in the world, economically, and member of Caricom, the Caribbean Common Market, is along-time friend of the United States. Its current President Ali gave an upbeat vision of the country's future, given its recently developing oil reserves and its dynamic approach to making Guyana technologically advanced and ever-absorbing in new knowledge and techniques.
It may be, too, that this country can help out in the need for oil and gas in the EU and elsewhere as Russia is being phased out as supplier to the West. President Ali that emphasized his commitment to retain the forests of his country even as Brazil, its southern neighbor, has greatly diminished its reserves for farm production. He is looking to a program of oil and gas low-carbon development.
Mr. Mark Green, President of the Wilson Center introduced him and subsequent to President Ali's remarks, Amb. Thomas A. Shannon Jr. of Arnold and Porter made comments on the presentation.
By what President Ali brought out in his talk, Guyana is interested in outside-the-country investors, e.g., from the United States and in international up-to-date business and technological advances applicable to keeping his country in the forefront of making not only his people skilled in the latest and in demand, but those in other Caricom countries, too.
Clearly, this leader is listening to what new knowledge is being developed worldwide and has established centers in his country for distributing and training how the world turns!
