Government is to create a new information-sharing sharing platform to enhance communication with Guyanese in the diaspora in matters pertaining to investment, remigration and other issues, a Department of Public Information (DPI) media release quotes Foreign Secretary Robert Persaud as saying.
The planned new communication channel between government and overseas-based Guyanese seeking information on ‘events, news and opportunities” at home is part of a broader initiative by government to pursue “more engagements with the Guyanese diaspora” the release said.
The disclosure by the Foreign Secretary, the DPI release said, was made during the course of a webinar staged by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation held in Wednesday. The webinar, the release said, came as a follow-up to the country’s first virtual diaspora conference held in May this year.
