Guyana’s Public Works Minister, Bishop Juan Edghill, on Sunday, met with the high-level Barbados Housing and Investment Mission team.
Headed by Barbadian Minister of Transport, Works and Maintenance, Dr. William Duguid, the visiting delegation arrived in Guyana last Friday to seek investment opportunities and strengthen trade relations between the two CARICOM nations.
Dr. Duguid said the fact-finding undertaking has already identified many areas for investment.
“We have done a lot of travelling around from various locations and we are going to see also what is available here from the quarry point of view, [We are] looking for sources for sand and crusher run for our road construction,” the Barbadian minister told the Department of Public Information (DPI).
Similarly, he said his country will seek to export cement to Guyana, since it has an effective plant. He said too that Guyana can receive bitumen from Barbados.
The move for the two countries to begin investment relations and development stemmed from bilateral discussion between Guyana’s President, Dr. Mohammed Irfaan Ali and Barbados Prime Minister, Mia Mottley.
